cwd is lost when opening new pane with nushell

2. Issues with the Zellij UI / behavior / crash

Issue description

I am new to zellij and nushell both, so I apologize with my lack of familiarity with the territory.

In zellij, with my default_shell set to nushell, when I open a new pane, the new pane opens to my home directory instead of staying in the cwd, as expected after #691

If I change my default shell to bash, the pane opens into cwd as expected.

Minimal reproduction

> echo $env.NU_VERSION
0.88.1
> cd (mktemp -d)
> pwd
/private/tmp/tmp.f8WsBgKlrW
> # <C-p> n
> # in the new pane:
> pwd
/Users/n8henrie

I can't repro on this using nu 0.89.0 and zellij 0.39.2

a few questions:

1. what version of zellij are you using? zellji --version
2. do you have nushell in your PATH and set default_shell to nu or set default_shell to the path to the nu bin?
3. can you repro with zsh/bash?

Thanks for chiming in! Your comment that it worked for you prompted me to keep digging, and I can confirm that it is a problem specific to my environment. Specifically, I had configured my default_shell to be a script that first prepares some environment variables and then enters nu; clearly something about this messes up the PWD retention. Once I change default_shell to be the path to the nu binary directly, the behavior is normal.

Sorry for the false alarm issue.
