* Fix not honoring --working-directory in first window (LP: #2124263) -- Sergio Costas Rodriguez <[email protected]> Thu, 25 Sep 2025 11:51:34 -0400 ** Changed in: ptyxis (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ptyxis in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: Ptyxis https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2124263 Title: Passing a working directory isn't honored unless there's another window already opened Status in Ptyxis: Fix Released Status in ptyxis package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Ptyxis, like nearly all the terminal emulators, has the `--working- directory` option to specify the default folder where to open a new terminal. It is used, for example, in xdg-terminal-exec to open a terminal for a specific folder when passing --dir=XXXX. Unfortunately, the parameter isn't always honored: if there is already an open terminal window, opening a new terminal with a different working directory does work as expected: the new terminal opens in the specified folder. But it there is no open terminal, it always open in the folder where the last closed terminal was.
