Description Eloi Gaudry 2016-11-28 14:46:48 UTC

When KConsole is managing several tabs simultaneously, a critical bug can occur when the current working directory of one of the opened tab gets deleted.

KConsole will enlessly loop until it is forced closed/killed.

Comment 1 Egmont Koblinger 2016-11-29 11:08:51 UTC

I can confirm this. (rmdir the working directory of a given tab, and then press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a new tab in this no longer existing directory.)

Comment 2 Egmont Koblinger 2016-11-29 11:10:55 UTC

I guess it's time to consider konsole using OSC 7 for tracking the working directory (as Terminal.app and gnome-terminal do), rather than digging into /proc. I vaguely recall having filed a bug about it, but cannot find it right now, maybe I just wanted to do this but never actually ended up filing it.

Comment 3 Kurt Hindenburg 2017-01-28 18:11:49 UTC

I thought this had been fixed in 16.08.x - OSC7 was put in June 2016

Are you still having this issue?

Comment 4 Eloi Gaudry 2017-01-30 10:16:44 UTC

Hi Kurt, 
yes, this bug seems corrected or I wasn't able to reproduce it.
Thanks,

Comment 5 Eloi Gaudry 2017-02-01 10:41:21 UTC

Sorry to say so, but I have been able to reproduce it now and up-to-date Leap-42.2 OS.

Comment 6 Kurt Hindenburg 2017-02-01 13:47:50 UTC

What version is that?  and I need more info about steps to reproduce or even a gif/video

Comment 7 Eloi Gaudry 2017-02-01 13:51:45 UTC

Version 16.08.2

I haven't been able to reproduce it again. I'm missing something in the initial conditions for this bug to happen. Have you checked what Edmont said ( (rmdir the working directory of a given tab, and then press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a new tab in this no longer existing directory.) )?

Comment 8 Kurt Hindenburg 2017-02-01 13:54:02 UTC

yes I've tried a lot of things - nothing crashes here - not sure if it shell I'm using or OS or distro....

Comment 9 Eloi Gaudry 2017-02-01 13:58:19 UTC

I could reproduce the issue using what Edgmont said.
Just create a new terminal then `mkdir test && cd test`, create a second tab then `cd test && rmdir test`, navigate back to first tab then create a new tab using keyboard shortcut : freeze.

Comment 10 Christoph Feck 2017-02-01 22:27:16 UTC

Comment #9 is bug 370437.

Comment 11 Sebastian 2018-10-30 22:40:53 UTC

Note: I am no maintainer but from the bugsquad.

As mentioned this bug seems to be fixed.

I will close this issue as the last report was a false positive, I cannot reproduce this bug and a fix was released.

Please feel free to change the status if you encounter this problem again!
