wt doesn't start in directory given from explorer

[csm10495]

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.1256
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.4.3243.0

Any other software?

I don't think it matters but I am using clink in cmd and a profile in powershell. Same stuff happens without them.

Steps to reproduce

If I open wt from a directory via Windows Explorer, it doesn't start in the correct directory. This behavior is different from cmd/powershell.

Expected behavior

If i run wt in Windows Explorer in a directory, it should start in that directory.

Actual behavior

wt seems to start in the user's home directory.

Attaching a video of the behavior difference

The recommended way to make this work is by entering wt -d . in the explorer bar. For more info see #878 (comment).

Yep, this is by design. /dup #878
