Description Vivien Mallet 2009-01-31 14:26:18 UTC

Version:           2.2 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I found two situations where Konsole does not seem to open a new tab in the right directory.

First situation:
1) Open a new Konsole.
2) Open a man page, e.g., "man g++".
3) Open a new tab.
4) Return to the first tab and quit the man page.
5) Open a new tab again: it opens in "/usr/share/man/" instead of opening in the directory of the first tab.

Second situation:
1) Open a new Konsole (or just a new tab in any Konsole). You are then in $HOME (in the default configuration).
2) Change directory, e.g., "cd /usr/".
3) Open a new tab: it opens in $HOME instead of /usr/.

yea, same on trunk.
1. only tab = man g++
2. open new tab - initial dir is /usr/share/man

Observed the same behaviour on Konsole 2.3.3 (KDE 4.3.4 - ArchLinux).

Sometimes it's just enough to open Konsole, open a man page, and open a new tab (and the initial dir will be /usr/share/man). But on some occasions it is necessary to open a new tab, go back to the first and quit the man page, and then open another tab (which will start on the wrong directory)
