Electerm version:

1.12.2

Operating system(linux, macos, or windows7/8/10?):

macos

Expected Behavior

Default terminal type should work when starting a new session from bookmark

Can you reproduce the same behavior in other terminal:

Yes

Current Behavior

If I change the default terminal type from xterm-256color to xterm-color in the settings, it will work if I start a new tab and then connect to the remote server. However, if I directly start a session from bookmark, the $TERM will be xterm-256color unchanged.
