Description Tim Landscheidt 2009-02-05 11:27:37 UTC 
Version:           2.1 (using KDE 4.1.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

If you specify an initial working directory as "Start-Ordner" in "Einstellungen/Aktuelles Profil bearbeiten ..." and *de*activate the button "In selbem Unterordner starten, wie aktuelles Unterfenster" (*1), new tabs are *always* opened with "~/Dokumente" as working directory.

Expected behaviour obviously is that they are opened with the specified initial working directory as initial working directory :-).

(*1)   Unrelated: The comma is a grammatical mistake and should be removed.
Comment 1 Tim Landscheidt 2009-02-14 06:51:27 UTC 
Further investigation shows that if the initial working directory is specified with no tildes (e. g. "/home/tim/somewhere" instead of "~/somewhere") new tabs are opened in that specified directory.

  This is very weird since:

a) the default value was "~/Dokumente" (with tilde),
b) there was no warning when I changed that to "~/somewhere", and
c) there was no error when I opened a new tab.

Still a problem in 4.2.
