csudo doesn't work in WSL

Versions

ConEmu build: 180506 preview x64
OS version: Windows 10 16299.431 x64
Used shell: WSL and powershell

Problem description

csudo does not launch consent.exe (does not elevate) when executed in WSL. This worked in the stable build, however.
On powershell (or maybe cmd as well, but untested), GUI applications launch within ConEmu which look bizzare.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open WSL or powershell
2. cmd.exe /c 'C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu\csudo.cmd' notepad.exe

Expected results

In WSL, consent.exe should ask for admin permission and launches notepad with admin.
In powershell, notepad should launch in a new window

Actual results

WSL skips consent.exe and opens notepad at user prvileges
Notepad opens within the ConEmu window if executed in powershell.

Additional information

The issue with consent.exe not launching is due to Cygwin/Msys connector. After removing the launch arguments in the {bash} task, the problem disappears. But launching Windows GUI programs within WSL still appears within the ConEmu Window.

This is tested in Quake mode.

WSL: ConEmuC started under WSL can't find appropriate GUI window. I may check that and this probably may be fixed.

Powershell: Notepad is started under Admin credentials. Expected behavior, I don't see the problem.

Notepad did start under admin credentials in PowerShell, but GUI apps should open in a new window, not within the ConEmu window.
Complex applications like Wordpad would instantly crash if launched this way.

Nope. When you run ChildGui with -new_console switch you tell ConEmu to run this ChildGui inside ConEmu.
By design.

Oh, now I see. I didn't use much of the features here so I didn't notice that's a thing. Woops.

Just updated to the latest version. Generally having no problems, but is it possible to launch GUI apps outside of tabs using csudo?

Via cmd start notepad.exe
