Steps to reproduce

I have created a new profile called My Custom Profile in settings.json. The profile does not appear in the dropdown to select profiles.

settings.json

// This file was initially generated by Windows Terminal 1.4.3141.0
// It should still be usable in newer versions, but newer versions might have additional
// settings, help text, or changes that you will not see unless you clear this file
// and let us generate a new one for you.
// To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button.
// For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/terminal-documentation
