I've tried recreating your test case multiple times without success, every time I close the tab the process being executed is killed. I'm also really not clear why you confirmed the bug when you say "I no longer use gnome-terminal but it's easily reproduced." Please either elaborate on your test case, so someone else can try and recreate it, or test it again in Intrepid.
Also please take a moment to review http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status which indicates that 'Confirmed bugs require confirmation from someone other than the original reporter'. ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- gnome-terminal keeps tabs in memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
