[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1132700@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-terminal - 3.12.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-terminal (3.12.2-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=low

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * NOTE: This version changes behaviour around the "Switch to tab" keyboard
    shortcuts. They are now active all the time, whereas previously they were
    only active when you had a corresponding number of tabs open. If you need
    to send these keys to your terminal, clear the shortcuts in the
    preferences dialog.
  * Drop 03_add_keywords.desktop: Not useful any more.
  * Drop 20_add_alt_screen_toggle_ui.patch: Too much effort to maintain, not
    deemed important enough to keep.
  * Resynchronise with Debian, remaining changes:
    - debian/patches/50_add_unity_quicklist.patch: Add Unity quicklist menu
      item.
    - debian/patches/60_add_lp_handler.patch: Add a handler for launchpad bug
      URLs.
  * Disable shell provider, we don't want to build-dep on gnome-shell.
  * Bump build-dependencies according to configure.ac:
    - intltool 0.50.0
    - vte 0.36.0
    - glib 2.39.2
  * Make debian/patches/10_kfreebsd-f_dupfd_cloexec.patch apply again.
  * Add build-dependency on libnautilus-extension-dev
  * Add new patch debian/patches/nautilus-x11.patch
    - build fails because of -Wl,-z,defs missing -lX11 in nautilus extension
  * Include autoreconf.mk cdbs snippet and build-depend on dh-autoreconf
  * Install new files in gnome-terminal
    - nautilus extension
  * debian/patches/0001-Restore-transparency.patch: Patch from Debarishi Ray
    to re-add support for transparent terminals. Updated to support loading a
    transparency value from the theme, if it provides one and to migrate the
    settings from GConf.

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * debian/rules:
    - Build with --enable-distro-packaging to not override Ubuntu
      environment variables
  * debian/patches/52_support_apturl.patch:
    - Support apt: URIs (LP: #217611)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Add 61_cwd_fallback.patch: Provide fallback for reading current directory
    if OSC 7 fails. (LP: #1132700)

Title:
  gnome-terminal >= 3.7 requires sourcing of vte.sh login script

Status in GNOME Terminal:
  Won't Fix
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As of gnome-terminal 3.7.0, it is required to add the following to
  PS1 to get the usual behaviour where a new terminal opens with the
  current working directory of the terminal you activated it from.

  export PS1='\[$(__vte_ps1)\]'$PS1

  gnome-terminal devs suggest to put this in .bashrc, however since this
  basically causes a regression, it would make sense to deal with it at
  a distro level and perhaps include it in the system bash scripts or
  similar.

  The actual change was made in libvte so this may potentially affect
  any application that uses that library.

  As a side note: __vte_ps1() is provided by /etc/profile.d/vte.sh,
  which is installed by libvte, however atleast on my system this script
  is not getting sourced at login for some reason.
