Description Jekyll Wu 2012-01-09 11:10:05 UTC 
Version:           2.0 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

It seems once a tab has been created, it always use the home directory when it was created as its home directory. The result is 'Home' button will navigate to different places in existing tabs and new tabs. That is inconsistent and potentially confusing.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1). open dolphin, navigate to some directory, then change home directory to, say, /tmp
2). make sure the existing tab (call it tab A) is the active tab, then press 'Home' button
3). open a new tab (call it tab B)
4). make sure tab B is the active tab, then press 'Home' button


Actual Results:  
2). after pressing 'Home' button, path is old home directory
2). after pressing 'Home' button, path is /tmp


Expected Results:  
2). after pressing 'Home' button, path is /tmp
4). after pressing 'Home' button, path is /tmp
