Description Mike 2008-07-28 14:34:57 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

When in ~/tmp there is a strange title given to the tab.  This does not happen with most directories.

~ -> title = 'mike : bash'
~/tmp -> title = 'mike/t : bash' # this is the bug
~/a -> title = 'a : bash'

~/tmp is a normal directory with normal permissions (755)

I can confirm that bug with Konsole 2.1 from KDE4.1RC1 Kubuntu packages.

Comment 2 Robert Knight 2008-07-29 10:24:16 UTC

This behaviour is intentional.  Common directory names like 'src', 'tmp', 'doc' etc. are shortened to a single letter and the name of the preceeding directory is inserted.  This is because if there are several tabs open in say, projecta/src, projectb/src, projectc/doc, then just the last part of the name would not be very helpful:

src | src | doc

Instead you see something more useful:

projecta/s | projectb/s | projectc/d

Comment 3 Robert Knight 2008-07-29 10:24:42 UTC

Unconfirming as per comment #2

Comment 4 Robert Knight 2008-09-22 03:58:39 UTC

Closing since this is expected behavior.  Might think of ways to make it more obvious why this is happening in future.

Comment 5 S. Burmeister 2009-05-21 11:23:20 UTC

Any further thoughts on this? If I understood correctly this only makes sense if there is a preceeding directory, i.e. if there is none, this is a bug.
