Missing semi-colon in Bash's "new tab, same directory" example

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

The example here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/tutorials/new-tab-same-directory#bash

is missing a semi-colon in it's "bash magic". Currently you've got

PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+"$PROMPT_COMMAND "}'printf "\e]9;9;%s\e\\" "$(wslpath -w "$PWD")"'

With the intention that if PROMPT_COMMAND is already set, of merely appending to it rather than wiping-out what was already there. However, as written above, there's no semi-colon separating the previous command(s) from the new printf one, leading to unexpected behavior.

I believe it should instead read like this:

PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+"$PROMPT_COMMAND ; "}'printf "\e]9;9;%s\e\\" "$(wslpath -w "$PWD")"'
