This looks a lot like https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/159 and is not a bug in Konsole. Is this only for the home folder or any other symlinks? tested this with another symlink (limited to root folders to test in becaues of atomic distro) sudo mkdir /var/test ln -s /var/test /home/USER/test cd /home/USER/test title currently shows ~/test click new tab title, prompt, and pwd show /var/test Also verified that $HOME is set to /home/USER Home directories are in `/var/home/foo` on Fedora Kinoite. Can you try editing the `/etc/passwd` entry for your user and setting its home dir to `/var/home/foo`? "Home directories are in `/var/home/foo` on Fedora Kinoite." This is true, but it also symlinks to /home/foo automatically since most things expect that. It even defaults to setting users home to the symlink in /etc/passwd. "Can you try editing the `/etc/passwd` entry for your user and setting its home dir to `/var/home/foo`?" I did try this with a user that home it set to /var/*, saw no difference in the behavior of the Konsole issue reported. When you select "start in current directory" in profiles, it goes to to source folder, not to the symlink the user was in when they initated the flow. Have tested outside of home altogether. ie, /var/test -> /etc/test |
