Terminal Mode auto recognize error

[imReker]

Windows 10 16299.19
ConEmu 161206

1. Start CMD Task in ConEmu
2. Run bash.exe -> Terminal Mode = X Bug
3. Exit bash, return to CMD
4. Run WSL.exe (or Ubuntu.exe, if WSL has been installed from WinStore) -> Termin Mode = W Bug
5. Exit bash, return to CMD
6. Start Bash Task in ConEmu -> Termin Mode = XA (XTerm+AppKeys) OK
7. Keep Bash Task, and return to CMD tab, run bash.exe -> Terminal Mode = W->X->W in a flash Bug
8. Exit bash opened in step 7, keep Bash Task in step 6
9. Run bash.exe with Win+R -> Terminal Mode = W->X Bug

Seems that ConEmu hardcoded 'bash.exe' to recognize WSL, so the Terminal Mode of WSL.exe or Ubuntu.exe is incorrect.

Bonus, run ubuntu.exe outside of ConEmu (or click Ubuntu Tile in Start Menu), the Terminal Window won't be catched in ConEmu (tried add ubuntu.exe in Default term Settings)

Old Builds

[imReker]

If you mean the lastest stable version is 'Old Builds', okay,
Let's repro in 170910 alpha.

1. Start CMD Task in ConEmu
2. Run bash.exe -> Terminal Mode = XA OK
3. Exit bash, return to CMD
4. Run WSL.exe (or Ubuntu.exe, if WSL has been installed from WinStore) -> Termin Mode = W Bug

Run cmd.exe in bash.exe in cmd.exe, press any function key (backspace or arrow), booooooooom XD
Switch Terminal Mode from XAC to W, press any function key, nothing happend XD

Good news, this bug will be fixed in next Insider Preview.

---

And,
Win+R:
bash.exe -> catched
wsl.exe -> catched
Ubuntu.exe -> not catched (Think not possible to fix)

One more thing:
If WSL is not installed by legacy way but from Windows Store, the Ubuntu icon is located in
"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_1604.2017.922.0_x64__79rhkp1fndgsc\images\icon.ico"
Different distros in different path.

I do not have brother wsl.exe nor ubuntu.exe on my Win10 PC. Only bash.exe is installed.

When any application set ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT ConEmu switches to XA automatically.

When you use connector, ConEmu is working on POSIX terminal mode and any console application utilizing WinAPI will fail for obvious reason. Same as in mintty.

I'm not on insider ring, because I don't want to harm my working PC.

Stable is old build because it does not support newer features of Windows 10. It was released before

No insider ring needed, just goto Windows Update and upgrade to Windows 16299, then you will get bash.exe and wsl.exe in system32.
Install Ubuntu from Windows Store and you will get ubuntu.exe.
Run wslconfig.exe to switch Legacy or Store wsl distro which bash.exe would run.
The legacy wsl (bash.exe) will be removed in future.
