Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Gnome-Terminal does not touch bash history; this is not a Gnome-Terminal problem.

If you want to save bash_history, you should specify so in the ~/.bashrc
```
HISTFILESIZE=5000
HISTFILE=~/.bash_history
shopt -s histappend
```

gnome-terminal IS saving bash history. The bug is that when you have more than one tab open, if you close the terminal, the history is deleted. It seems that the two tabs try to save the history at the same time and the history is reset.
