"Create Interactive Window" command does not open in the current work directory

See original GitHub issue

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.51.1 (Portable version)
OS: Windows 10
Python version: 3.8.3

Expected behaviour

When run the command “Jupyter: Create Interactive Window” (jupyter.createnewinteractive) The python interactive window should open on the current project’s folder as working directory, which can be seen with line command pwd

Actual behaviour

The python interactive window opens in VSCode installation folder.

Steps to reproduce:

Open VS Code in some folder
Run the command “Jupyter: Create Interactive Window” (jupyter.createnewinteractive)
Verify the current work directory with command pwd in the opened Python Interactive Window

Remark: Using the Portable version of VS Code (don’t know if this makes difference)
