Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
gnome-terminal:
Installed: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1
Candidate: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 3.18.3-1ubuntu1 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Create a bash script called echoParams.sh somewhere in your current path
(attached):
#!/bin/bash
for param in "$@"
do echo "param '$param'"
done
echo -n "Enter to finish..."
read junk
Execute the following:
$ gnome-terminal --execute echoParams.sh -h
In a new terminal window the output is:
param '--help'
Enter to finish...
... meanwhile, back at the command line:
$ which gnome-terminal
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal
$ gnome-terminal --version
GNOME Terminal 3.18.3
The '-h' is being translated and passed as '--help'
... which is no help at all if the --execute command expects '-h'.
All puns intended.
** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "The echoParams.sh script listed in the bug description."
