Description
WindowsTerminal 1.21.2408.23001
In an already-running WT, this command splits the current pane and focuses the old one.
`wt sp -p TCC33 -V ; move-focus left`
This command does the same thing, not making it fullscreen.
`wt -F sp -p TCC33 -V ; move-focus left`
Is that as expected?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing both commands in an already-running Windows Terminal instance and compare how the `-F` option is handled. Trace the command-line handling for `wt -F` and verify completion when the existing instance becomes fullscreen while preserving the requested split and focus behavior.
