Description Tomas Mraz 2008-08-29 10:35:34 UTC

Reproducer:
1. change directory in panel to /foo
2. switch to bash (now with cwd in /foo), run some long running command
3. switch back to mc panels, change directory to /bar
4. switch back to bash, the long running command exits, cwd in bash is still /foo
5. switch back to mc panels again, mc switches automatically the directory to /foo

5. is the bug.

Suggestion how to fix it:
If mc finds out that the cwd of bash in 1. and 4. is the same (/foo in our case), it will not change the directory in the panel but changes the cwd in bash to /bar.

Comment 1 Jindrich Novy 2008-09-02 09:53:58 UTC

It is now fixed in rawhide.

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2008-09-02 10:12:56 UTC

I don't think the fix is completely right - the current behavior can be seen as regression, because now if I change cwd in the bash it will never change cwd in the panel anymore. I just wanted to put a priority on the cwd changed by user in the panel over the cwd in bash.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 02:54:07 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.
