--- Comment #5 from Jonathan S <jonat...@sparky.nz> ---
I've found this bug ticket while searching for existing tickets for something
similar that I have observed on Fedora Kinoite 40.

My home directory in /etc/passwd and $HOME are both set to "/home/jonathan",
but when I launch Konsole, the initial directory is /var/home/jonathan with a
prompt of:

jonathan@xps:/var/home/jonathan$

If I do a "cd ~", it changes my present working directory to /home/jonathan and
the prompt shows:

jonathan@xps:~$ 

If I switch to a TTY console and log in, my initial directory is /home/jonathan
and the prompt is:

jonathan@xps:~$

Interestingly, if I go into the configuration of my Konsole profile, the
"Initial directory" has "/home/jonathan" in a placeholder text light grey font
(presumably loaded from /etc/passwd or $HOME ?), but if I click in there and
replace this placeholder text with the same value of "home/jonathan" and
relaunch Konsole, my initial directory works as expected (ie. it is
/home/jonathan and the prompt is "jonathan@xps:~$").

So, it seems that Konsole is not handling the default value of "Initial
directory" until it is explicitly set (to the same value).

Apologies if this isn't the same issue as described in the bug report!
