Public bug reported: If I create new terminal using gnome-terminal command (in terminal), it inherits environmental variables from the old terminal as any other application does. But if I create new terminal using Open Tab or Open Terminal, I get a fresh terminal. This is sometimes what I want but sometimes not.
I miss the possibility to copy environmental variables from the old terminal to the new one. Option in preferences would be ok. But some way to switch the behaviour quickly would be better. For user there is no difference between the new window/tab and gnome- terminal command. Only the inheriting of environmental variables. I also noticed that there is no option to preset environmental variables for the terminal. Some combination of Profiles and .bashrc file. However this is a different bug but probably connected, so that why I'm mentioning it.
