The man page for the version that I have does not mention '--' nor the fact that the --execute option is obsolete --- BUT! ... the '--' option *does* work and functions as desired with the command-line you gave... the '-h' is echoed properly.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this. The man page probably needs to be updated as even the 'Zesty' version still shows the --command and --execute options (and no '--') with the same description as 16.04 LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663737 Title: --execute changes following -h to --help To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1663737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
