I believe all is working as it is supposed to.
Steps to reproduce (the intended behavior):
- Open a gnome-terminal window
- Open a new tab (Ctrl-Shift-T)
- In this new tab, change the working directory (for instance "cd /tmp")
- Inside the first tab (or second, doesn't matter), execute the following
command "gnome-terminal --save-config=testing" (see below for the generated
config file)
- Close the gnome-terminal window
Now you can test your config file in 2 ways:
1. Open a new gnome-terminal window, or
2. Using "Launch an application" (Alt-F2)
whatever technique you choose, execute this command: "gnome-terminal
--load-config=testing"
This will open a new gnome-terminal window with 2 tabs, the second
having the said working directory.
So, in my opinion all is working as it's supposed to do.
I believe Rob's confusion is that he expected to run the terminal with the save
option and that when closing the terminal it would save the config ("the
terminal would start and allow normal operation, then would write out its
config to file when exited"), but really the save option must be executed at
the moment you want to make a "snapshot" of the current config, and then load
it later so that it opens in the same state (i.e. open tab/windows and
according working directories, window size, zoom, etc.)
I believe this bug can be marked as invalid.
