Remote: workspace color theme setting does not override default on startup

[rhomel]

• VSCode Version: 1.45, 1.46
• OS Version: MacOS 10.14.6

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a remote SSH folder.
2. Add a custom workbench color theme to the workspace .vscode/settings.json:

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Quiet Light"
}

3. Close VSCode and restart.

After Vscode starts up and opens the remote ssh folder, the workspace theme will not override the default setting.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A

This bug does not apply to local folders.

I was not sure where to file this bug since Vscode 1.44.2 works as expected.

I have this issue since 1.46, 1.45 works ok for me.
There is an issue about this in vscode remote. microsoft/vscode-remote-release#3190

+1 and thanks for filing, I was struggling with this issue and then I found this ticket. I'm facing this when using WSL.
