Version: 2.1 (using KDE 4.1.4) Installed from: Fedora RPMs If you specify an initial working directory as "Start-Ordner" in "Einstellungen/Aktuelles Profil bearbeiten ..." and *de*activate the button "In selbem Unterordner starten, wie aktuelles Unterfenster" (*1), new tabs are *always* opened with "~/Dokumente" as working directory. Expected behaviour obviously is that they are opened with the specified initial working directory as initial working directory :-). (*1) Unrelated: The comma is a grammatical mistake and should be removed.
Further investigation shows that if the initial working directory is specified with no tildes (e. g. "/home/tim/somewhere" instead of "~/somewhere") new tabs are opened in that specified directory. This is very weird since: a) the default value was "~/Dokumente" (with tilde), b) there was no warning when I changed that to "~/somewhere", and c) there was no error when I opened a new tab.
Still a problem in 4.2.
