Is this a regression?

Yes, the previous version in which this bug was not present was: 10, 9, 8

Description

When changing the root of the project to a sub folder and changing the path of the main.ts, pollyfills and other files it ignores the config changes and it is looking for the files in their original location.

In earlier version it finds the files in the sub folder 'ProjectFolder' now it serches the files in the root folder 'myproject' and doesnt find them.
