Description Frederic Peters 2013-01-21 08:27:26 UTC 
When using the File menu to open new a tab or window, GNOME Terminal used to create it with the current working directory of the active terminal; this is no longer the case.

Works here. Have you modified your PS1 as detailed in the release notes (NEWS file for 3.7.0) ?
Comment 2 Frederic Peters 2013-01-21 11:58:14 UTC 
Indeed the profile.d/vte.sh was not installed properly, and I didn't change PS1. Sorry for the noise.
Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2013-03-21 13:30:18 UTC 
What are distros supposed to do here?  I don't think users will read the release notes for all packages after a distro upgrade, and this is pretty much impossible to discover (even Google doesn't help here, I got here by searching for "directory" among closed gnome-terminal BZs).

Why doesn't vte.sh already include the "export" line?
