Description Rafal Lalik 2016-12-02 12:55:55 UTC

Hi,

first of all I don't know how to formulate the topic for this problem, maybe you can rephrase it. Problem is following:

I have custom scripts which runs a konsole session with predefined command to execute: konsole -e "cmd". I use it to call remote ssh session, but for simplicity I will use example with gdb which also reproduces my problem.

so my custom scripts looks following:

-- CUT HERE -- ~/bin/kons_gdb --
#!/bin/bash

konsole -e "gdb"
-- END --

Then I have desktop entry for the runner for this script:

-- CUT HERE -- ~/.local/share/applications/kgdb.desktop --
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/home/user/bin/kons_gdb
GenericName=GDB in Konsole demo
Name=kons_gdb
NoDisplay=false
Path[$e]=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
-- END --

Now, following steps should reproduce my problem:

1. Invoke krunner (Alt+F2) and type: konsole
Konsole window should open

2. Invoke krunner and type: kons_gdb
Konsole window with gdb should open

3. Invoke krunner and type: konsole
Konsole window with gdb is open, but normal konsole should be started

4. Close windows open is steps 2 and 3

5. Invoke krunner and type: konsole
Again gdb is seen

6. Close windows open in 5 and 1

7. Invoke krunner and type: konsole
Normal konsole is open

At this moment I don't know whether krunner invokes wrong *.desktop entry (kons_gdb instead of konsole) or konsole somehow remember the last -e "cmd" option and calls it.

Created attachment 103469 [details]
htop output showing the bug

This attachment shows three konsole processes. The first one was created through Intellij external tool facility. The other two processes were created through krunner using only "konsole" as input. It seems that the two new instances copied the arguments used to start the first one. Besides that, I can read the environment variables of the first process in all other konsole windows.

Is this still an an issue? TBH I find the problem really confusing, it might be related to BUG 417050
