Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

In the profile options, under the tab ""Title and command", there is the
following option :

When the command is done:
1. Quit the terminal
2. Relaunch the command
3. Keep the terminal open

The first option is what's selected in the default profile.

If I run a command with gnome-terminal -e "<COMMAND>", the windows
closes directly after the command is finished - nothing special. When I
change the option to keep the terminal open, the window indeed does not
close, but it doesn't return to the prompt, meaning that this window is
rendered useless. I have found [1] what appears to be a workaround to
return to the prompt. Wouldn't it make more sense if that was the
behavior of that option - keep the window open after the command is
done, AND go back to prompt so that you can continue using this window?

Or if the behavior of having this window that doesn't return to the
prompt is the intended behavior, wouldn't it be possible to add a fourth
option to keep the terminal open and return to prompt?
