Description John B 2008-09-26 01:30:38 UTC 
Version:           1.6.6 (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

By the way, the "KDE version" picker didn't have 3.5.8, but that's what this is and not 3.5.9, if it matters.  This is the version of KDE/Konsole as packaged for Kubuntu Gutsy.

When you specify "--noclose", that should be respected by all tabs, not just the first one.

REPRODUCE:

1) Alt-F2: "konsole --noclose"
2) Open a second tab
3) Exit the shell in the second tab, observe that the tab closes
4) Exit the shell in the first tab, observe that it does not close and displays "<Finished>" in the title bar

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:

At step 3, the tab should remain open and the title bar should display "<Finished>", like it does with the first tab

Still applicable to KDE 4.2
Comment 2 Jekyll Wu 2011-10-16 18:26:16 UTC 
Could you give specific example where it is more natural or helpful to apply the '--noclose' option to all opened tabs?
Comment 3 Jekyll Wu 2011-10-24 12:43:37 UTC 
I still do not think this is a bug. At least, "applying --noclose to all tabs" will cause more confusions and complaints than current behavior IMHO. 

Maybe a better choice is to add a new "keep open after finished" action which can be used by users to enable this behavior in a per tab way.
