Description Daniel Franke 2011-04-10 21:24:55 UTC

Version:           2.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

When opening a new tab in Konsole, the current working directory of the new tab is the one of the previously selected tab. However ...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open Konsole, start a long running find process, e.g. `find / -name "*.doc". With the tab running `find` selected, open another tab. Move back to the tab running find. Open another tab. Compare the working directories of each new tab/shell.


Actual Results:  
Each shell has a working directory that seems to correspond to the currently traversed directory of find.

Expected Results:  
Use the working directory of the shell where the find command was started.

See the discussion for bug 268322. It cannot be fixed. If "find" changes the working directory, then Konsole needs to do the same as if "cd" would change it.

Although not the same command, it's the same problem. Closing as dupe.
Thanks for the pointer.
