You have been subscribed to a public bug: In GNOME Terminal, opening a new tab opens the new tab using the same working directory as the current tab.
This only works because we added a distro patch to GNOME Terminal in 2013. VTE prefers to use /etc/bashrc.d/ but Debian and Ubuntu's bash don't support that feature currently. Workaround ========== You can add this line to your ~/.bashrc source /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh This will enable this feature to work in all VTE apps: Ptyxis, GNOME Console, etc. ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Jeremy BĂcha (jbicha) Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: ptyxis (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Confirmed -- New tabs don't open in current working directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083705 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bash in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
