Description
Calling code . from WSL (in a mounted windows folder) opens vscode in the correct folder, but in Windows instead of remote. WSL extension is installed, and doing Remote-WSL: Reopen Folder in WSL in vscode works properly.
Side note, I think this is what #4109 is asking for as an open feature request, so it shouldn't be expected behavior.
- VSCode Version: 1.54.1 (installed via scoop, if it changes anything)
- Local OS Version: Windows 10 20H2
- Remote OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (WSL1)
- Remote Extension/Connection Type: WSL
Steps to Reproduce:
- open WSL terminal
- open vscode in a Windows folder:
/mnt/c/Users/kmasuyama/Workspace/testdir$ code .
Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: N/A
Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: N/A

Reproduce code . from WSL in /mnt/c/... and compare it with Remote-WSL: Reopen Folder in WSL. Read issue #4109 first, since this report identifies it as the relevant feature request. Done means the expected behavior and scope are settled, with the WSL-mounted-folder case covered.
