RDM version 2026.2.5 - PowerShell session with Windows Terminal problems

Published 24 days ago

This problem seems to be recurring. Almost all minor updates (when database schema need updating) curing a year or so reintroduce this problem in some form or another. Here we go again:

When PowerShell session uses WindowsTerminal as terminal application (as configured on picture),
4535d26b-626a-4457-9fc5-5e83459fc4ca The started WindowsTerminal reads Windows Terminal configuration from outside of RDM application and opens several terminal tabs.

Closing these tabs one by one leaves one additional (hidden) Windows terminal still running on background.
dc0d2052-161d-489f-8c8e-259baddcac15 and no PowerShell sessions open any more, until that hanging WindowsTerminal process is killed.

When the PowerShell session is configured to run in external window, the 2 WindowsTerminal windows open.
