The default in defaults.json is set to true so as to not disrupt the 300k users who had installed Terminal prior to 0.11. The new user settings template sets it to false.

New users get the "ideal" behavior, migrated users get their "accustomed" behavior.

@DHowett I was never "accustomed" to it 🙂 -- I just assumed that it was a quirk which I never wanted, but I finally decided to file a bug.
