Hi, So, this is affecting me on Ubuntu 20.04 - gnome-terminal no longer preserves the current working directory in bash upon opening a new window (or tab) from the context menu. Does anyone know what's going on?
The /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh script is being sourced correctly, but I believe that it only has to do with the pwd in the titlebar, which is also working. Switching to fish as proposed on StackOverflow is not an option... Any tips? :-( All the best, Yury -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609342 Title: Gnome-terminal sets directory to HOME for ctrl-shift-n and custom shell command Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With Ubuntu 14.04 I could Ctrl-Shift-N in my gnome-terminal and another terminal window came up with the same working directory. When I upgraded to 16.04.1, the new terminal window now always uses $HOME as working directory. I want the 14.04 behavior. This has nothing to do with sourcing /etc/profile.d/vte.sh. Fish does this correctly as I can observe directory changes in the title bar. If I uncheck the custom command box in my gnome-terminal profile, the new terminal window correctly uses the current directory. However, it uses my system default shell: bash. For some reason gnome-terminal does not set the working directory if I use a custom command.
