Open Terminal from OMEdit not working

Description
On Windows nothing happens when I try to open a terminal from OMEdit by clicking Tools->OpenTerminal.
On my Windows Subsystem for Linux I get a error message like
[3] 15:34:28 Scripting Error Terminal command is not set. You can define a new terminal command in Tools->Options->General->Terminal Command.
When I switch back to my Windows OMEdit I can see that the terminal command is cmd.exe, so that should be correct. I suspect that CMD is started and immediately closed again.

Ah sorry, I was a bit unclear.
I tried the same thing on two different OS (Windows and Linux), namely starting a terminal from OMEdit.
- On Windows nothing happens (no error messages or anything).
- When doing the same thing on Linux I got an error message because my settings are different there.

So the problem is in Windows or Linux or both?
What settings you have for terminal command?

Maybe this is relevant here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42051405/qprocess-with-cmd-command-does-not-result-in-command-line-window
In the meanwhile try setting terminal command to something else like calc.exe and see if it works.

The problem is (probably) only on Windows, since I don't have a Linux with a working GUI (WSL).
So I'll stick to Windows for this ticket from now on.
My Settings in Tools->Options->General
Terminal Command: cmd.exe Terminal Command Arguments:
When changing it to use calc.exe it starts my calculator.
When I change it to a different shell, e.g. C:/Program Files/Git/git-bash.exe from Git it will start and immediately close it again.

I also get the same issue as @AnHeuermann. Terminal is set to cmd.exe (I guess that's the default. Neither Tools | OpenModelica Command prompt nor Tools | Open Terminal produce any result.
BTW, what is the difference among those to supposed to be?

@adeas31, BTW, when I go to Tools | Options and click Reset, the message popup window has a link to "file" but if I click on it, nothing happens. I guess the root cause is the same.

Apparently the Qt version upgrade was not so smooth. I just tested them and they work fine in 1.16.5.

Tools | Open Terminal just starts a terminal in OMEdit working directory.
Tools | OpenModelica Command prompt also starts the terminal in working directory but it also sets the paths needed for simulation executable.

This works fine for me. omedit.ini is opened by clicking on this link in the system default editor for *.ini files.

@adeas31, please also port this to maintenance/v1.17
Well the error message says no terminal command is set.
