Description Matthias Clasen 2013-08-26 16:14:42 UTC
I'm trying 3.9.90 in ostree - first of all, why did the 'new tab' menuitem get lost ? that was a little confusing, in particular since 'close tab' is still there. After figuring out that Ctrl-T still works, I opened a few tabs and found that the all had blank titles. Also in the tabs menu: a bunch of blank menuitems.

That can't be right...
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2013-08-26 16:20:21 UTC
possible this is related to that vte.sh snipplet - ostree may not handle that right. But still, showing blank menuitems is just a bug. 'Tab 1', 'Tab 2', etc would be much better

I've renamed close tab/window to close terminal/close all terminals now on master.

Yes, Ctrl-Shift-T is still the shortcut to 'open a new terminal in a new tab'.

That's not intended. I don't see that here; is ostree doing something special wrt bash's PS1 or PROMPT_COMMAND ?
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2014-04-12 18:39:07 UTC
Is this still happening? And if so, what's ostree doing with PS1 or PROMPT_COMMAND which usually set the title?
Comment 4 Debarshi Ray 2014-04-14 13:59:52 UTC
PROMPT_COMMAND is not set in Continuous because for some reason /etc/profile is not being executed.
Comment 5 Debarshi Ray 2014-04-14 14:39:42 UTC
The easy workaround is to go to Profile Preferences -> Title & Command and turn on "Run command as a login shell". That will force the bash (and sh) to read /etc/profile. However that is not needed on Fedora 20 and makes me wonder what else could be different between the two systems.

Oh, by the way, the default shell in Continuous is /bin/sh as opposed to Fedora.
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2014-04-20 18:21:52 UTC
I added fallback to 'Terminal' as tab title, like the window title already does.
