About the default open question

[Environment] Windows 10 1903 18362.356
1.In general, when I type 'cmd' in the address bar of a folder, cmd will switch the directory location to the location of the folder.However, if the open is 'wt', it is still the same, he still opens C:\Users\XXXX，even if I did not write the parameter ”startingDirectory“.
2.Even if I set the WSL ‘startingDirectory’ parameter on the terminal to the absolute location of a folder in the wsl root directory, he still opens the root directory of wsl.

If it is my parameters are not written, please advise
If it is a bug, please fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks for the bug report! Let me try and break each of these down:

1. This is the same issue as Starting directory no longer respected #878. Unfortunately, if you have a startingDirectory set, you won't currently be able to use explorer to open the Windows Terminal in the current directory.
2. This sounds quite a bit like Support linux paths for startingDirectory of WSL distros #592, though I could be misunderstanding. startingDirectory needs to be a Windows path, not a WSL path.

/dup #878
/dup #592
