Description Quentin Geissmann 2013-04-24 20:48:23 UTC 
I have noticed that in the last gnome-terminal, if one changes directory and then open a new tab, the tab is open in "~" rather that the directory moved into.

How to reproduce:
1) open a terminal
2) cd /
3) open a new tab (Ctrl+Shift+T)
4) observe that the opened tab working directory is in "~" rather than "/"


I think this behaviour is a regression because:
1) most of the time, the user will want to be in the same working directory.
2) if ever he wanted to be in "~", he can always simply type `cd` which is easier than retyping a long path.
