** Summary changed: - Update g-t 3.36 version to solve --wait issue(bionic) + --wait option not working as expected (3.28)
** Description changed: Dear Maintainers, - - We have developed a program that it launches a new gnome-terminal with a ssh tunnel connection. Basically, the program forwards a local port to the destination address and opens a new terminal with a ssh connection to the local port: - + We have developed a program that it launches a new gnome-terminal with a + ssh tunnel connection.
