I'm not going to speak for the ubuntu/debian maintainer(s) who have remained silent on this , but a few add. comments
The change concerning this was made upstream, I'd certainly consider their/his (chet ramey) knowledge of bash to be such that the change was well justified. (nothing I could remotely question Ubuntu tends not to change upstream code unless there is some really good reason, - don't see that here. While I also had gotten in the habit of closing the terminal window, it's really no big deal, when wishing the command(s) used in the current term to be saved, to just use Ctrl+d Actually see this as a positive - if I want the command(s) saved I use Ctrl+d, if I don't then I just close the window. Also keeping in mind this in no way affects using the history - you're free to copy one over and or edit commands in the current one My only complaint here was that this should have been noted in the changelog - certainly considering that history has always been saved no matter how the term was closed in the past. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725327 Title: bash 4.2 does not save history (~/.bash_history) when using close window -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
