Description Tim Sheridan 2012-10-22 11:15:38 UTC 
If you open a new terminal (Ctrl + Shift + N) from an existing terminal which has a pwd with a symlink in it, the new terminal's pwd is resolved to the target of the symlink. I would expect that the pwd for the new terminal to be precisely the original pwd.

To reproduce:
# Open a terminal
mkdir target_dir
ln -s target_dir link_dir
cd link_dir
pwd
# Ctrl + Shift + N for a new terminal
pwd
