Public bug reported:
As of gnome-terminal 3.7.0, it is required to add the following to PS1
to get the usual behaviour where a new terminal opens with the current
working directory of the terminal you activated it from.
export PS1='\[$(__vte_ps1)\]'$PS1
gnome-terminal devs suggest to put this in .bashrc, however since this
basically causes a regression, it would make sense to deal with it at a
distro level and perhaps include it in the system bash scripts or
similar.
The actual change was made in libvte so this may potentially affect any
application that uses that library.
As a side note: __vte_ps1() is provided by /etc/profile.d/vte.sh, which
is installed by libvte, however atleast on my system this script is not
getting sourced at login for some reason.
