Opening a new terminal window does not restore the previous window's size and position on the screen

[Poopooracoocoo]

Windows Terminal version

1.13.10395.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Terminal
2. Resize and reposition window
3. Close window
4. Open Terminal again

Expected Behavior

Terminal would open the window in the same position and size

Actual Behavior

The position and size are reset.

Note: I am not referring to session restore on start-up like you'd find in a web browser that can be enabled optionally. I'm referring to regular behaviour that people expect on desktop operating systems. And in particular, this makes it easier to use on smaller screens such as laptops.

Do you have window layout saving enabled? In Settings -> Startup -> "When Terminal starts" select the "Open windows from a previous session" option.

I don't want that, nor should I need that enabled to have this.

Edit: I even explicitly mentioned that option in my issue. No edits.

Alright so this is a new feature request - a setting to use the initialPosition, initialSize in state.json instead of the ones in the settings file. I suppose that could be a checkbox within the Launch Size expander. Ah, but then we've got the trick that we'd want one checkbox for "use previous position" and another for "use previous size". (admittedly, initialPosition isn't in the SUI yet, #9075). Then there's also the complicating factor that enabling "Open windows from a previous session" would spooky-action-at-a-distance check and disable those boxes.

So then it makes more sense to put this as another radio option in "When Terminal starts...". Or like, a checkbox under the "Open a tab with the default profile", that only revealsenables itself when that radio button is selected? (hiding itself would be terrible discoverability)
