Title:
New tabs don't open in current working directory
Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in bash package in Debian:
New
Status in ptyxis package in Debian:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In GNOME Terminal, opening a new tab opens the new tab using the same
working directory as the current tab.
This only works because we added a distro patch to GNOME Terminal in
2013. VTE prefers to use /etc/bashrc.d/ but Debian and Ubuntu's bash
don't support that feature currently.
Workaround
==========
You can add this line to your ~/.bashrc
source /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh
This will enable this feature to work in all VTE apps: Ptyxis, GNOME
Console, etc.
