[Bug 1378151] Re: Commands not saved to .bash_history when a leading space is present

 

While not that obvious this can be a quite useful feature, for instance if you need to run
$ command --username=myuser --password=mysecretpassword
which you don't want to show up in history.

I've taken the liberty to close this issue. Feel free to report any bugs
you may come across in the future.

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

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
