Title:
  Commands not saved to .bash_history when a leading space is present

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If typing a command in gnome-terminal that contains a leading space,
  that command is not in the scroll back history and not saved to
  .bash_history. The command is executed as expected.

  An example as follows
  $ date
  Tue Oct  7 11:09:23 EST 2014

  but no scroll back history exists.
  After closing gnome-terminal and opening again, the command is still not present in .bash_history or the scroll back.
