How to re-use a VS Code task window, without closing it

My goal is to re-use a task window in VS Code. However, when I enter ctrl + c, the task stops, but then writes: "Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.".

I don't want to close the window. It's frustrating because it forces me to open a new window and navigate to the correct directory.

I recorded a gif of the problem (It's the window on the right):

My task config look like this:

{
    "label": "some label",
    "type": "npm",
    "script": "build",
    "path": "some-path/",
    "problemMatcher": [],
    "runOptions": { "runOn": "folderOpen" },
    "group": "build",
    "presentation": {
        "echo": true,
        "reveal": "silent",
        "focus": false,
        "panel": "shared",
        "showReuseMessage": false,
        "clear": false,
        "group": "build"
    }
}

I tried various combination of the presentation properties, but to no help.
