Killing tasks does not actually kill them #242891
Description
Type: Bug
When I kill a task in the terminal tab, it gets removed from the lists of running tasks, however starting in one of the recent code versions (probably 1.98.0?), the task does not get killed and is still runing in the background and can also still be found in the windows task manager.
Example: vite dev/hot server. Everytime I kill a server task, it keeps on running. The next time I start it, the used port number will increase due to the previous one still being in use.
