Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836]
Windows Terminal version: 1.0.1401.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set up a profile to have a background image
  2. Close all terminals
  3. Open the terminal via wt split-pane, or wt -p "Command Prompt" ; split-pane -p "Windows PowerShell"

Expected behavior

Terminal to open with both background images shown

Actual behavior

Only a single pane shows the background image.

wt split-pane;split-pane also works correctly, and shows the expected behavior.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the background image rendering code in TerminalApp and the handling of the command line syntax for split pane to understand why only the first pane gets the background image.
