I can confirm this is still an issue in Ubuntu 12.04[.3] with the current gnome-terminal 3.4.1.1-0ubuntu1 package.
Are there any plans for this to be fixed in 12.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263637 Title: Gnome-terminal follows symbolic links instead of staying in the current directory when opening a new tab Status in GNOME Terminal: Fix Released Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal 1) cd /tmp 2) mkdir -p A/AA 3) mkdir B 4) cd B 5) ln -s ../A/AA 6) cd AA The current directory is /tmp/B/AA.
