The reason is simple I think: AFAIK "konsole -e xxx" just runs the command directly and passes it the rest of the line as arguments. But the '&&' or ';' are to be parsed by the shell, konsole nor the application it runs cares about them. So to fix this IMHO, "konsole -e" would instead need to run the command via a shell instead, e.g. by prepending "sh -c" itself. No idea if that would be feasible though, I'm not a konsole developer. Btw, that hasn't actually changed recently, I can reproduce the same behavior with konsole 2.14.2 from KDE4... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
