Redirected here from
[upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/issues/228).
After recent upgrade to 3.36, the command iago-lito@etak:~$ gnome-terminal -- bash used to open a new instance of gnome terminal in working directory `~`. Now, the prompt is located at `/` instead. Even if I iago-lito@etak:~$ gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/iago-lito -- bash I get a new window opened as iago-lito@etak:/$ just like the current or requested working directory were ignored. This is not specific to `bash`, since it also occurs with `python`, `tmux`, and even a simple program doing `pwd > /home/iago-lito/where_has_it_opened` reveals that the new gnome-terminal always opens under directory `/`. Is this an expected change? If yes, how to work around it? If not, how to fix it? Here is more information that may be useful: ``` $ gnome-shell --version GNOME Shell 3.36.0 $ gnome-terminal --version # GNOME Terminal 3.36.0.1 using VTE 0.60.0 +BIDI +GNUTLS +ICU +SYSTEMD $ uname -a Linux etak 5.5.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri, 06 Mar 2020 00:57:33 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` Thank you for support :) |

You can control the "preserve working directory" setting for each profile in the preferences.
