Dear Maintainers. Package: konsole Version: 4:16.04.2-1
The regression I've described seems to be fixed
by setting
'Initial directory='
instead of
'Initial directory=/root'
in the Settings > Manage profiles > edit form.
This setting results in Directory= <empty> in the profile file reported below;
invoking the profile does NOT hang konsole, which nicely starts a session in
/root directory as expected (Apparently leaving empty the 'initial directory'
field defaults to ~ of the new user, which is sensible.)
I have no idea why Directory=<empty> and Directory=/root
are NOT equivalent in this case, and why the problem is not reproduced.
Thanks for your time
