Public bug reported: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using: Ubuntu 17.10
2) The version of the package you are using: 3.24.2-0ubuntu4 3) What you expected to happen: When opening a terminal window with a long working directory path containing Unicode characters (such as “/home/test/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/ä/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789” in a 80×24 window), gnome-terminal opens normally. 4) What happened instead: gnome-terminal closes immediately, both when opened using gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/test/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/ä/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789 and when changing to this directory using “cd”. There is no output on stderr or anywhere else, the window just closes. This makes it impossible to use gnome-terminal for many directories with long paths. This did NOT happen in Ubuntu 16.04. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745273 Title: Cannot open gnome-terminal with long working directory name containing Unicode characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1745273/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
