Description Ahmad Samir 2012-02-09 12:48:22 UTC
It seems that --workdir doesn't handle trailing /'s correctly:

$ konsole --workdir /usr/share/icons/
Konsole displays this:
[a@localhost ]$ 

But this works correctly:
$ konsole --workdir /usr/share/icons
[a@localhost icons]$ 

notice how the basename of the dir path, "icons", isn't displayed in the first case.

My shell is BASH, here's some info:
$ echo $PS1
[\u@\h \W]\$

$ echo $PROMPT_COMMAND
printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/~}"

$ echo $PWD
/usr/share/icons/

Thanks for reporting. 

This looks like a side effect of commit 790e835c6fab58a5c4bfe00559d3a4ee97b84e38, which sets environment $PWD additionally.

Will fix it soon.

Comment 4 Ahmad Samir 2012-02-09 14:37:55 UTC
I can confirm the fix.

This fixes a bug with Dolphin where opening a terminal, using Shift+F4, in a dir:
- After going up, Alt+Up OR
- Right clicking a search result in Dolphin and selecting "Open path in a new tab"

would exhibit this bug, where the current working dir isn't shown in the prompt.

Thanks :)
