The only way to open more terminals after dealing with profiles is to click File -> Open Terminal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.13.90-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Terminal normally 2. Click Edit -> Profiles 3. Create a new profile and save it 4. Now try to open a Terminal via a gnome panel icon Actual Results: The Terminal doesn't appear. If you go into File -> Open Terminal from your existing Terminal at this point not only does the new one appear, but also the one you were trying to open during reproducer step #4. Expected Results: Terminals should always appear! Terminals for everyone!! Additional info:
These bugs are being closed since a large number of updates have been released after the FC5 test1 and test2 releases. Kindly update your system by running yum update as root user or try out the third and final test version of FC5 being released in a short while and verify if the bugs are still present on the system .Reopen or file new bug reports as appropriate after confirming the presence of this issue. Thanks
The bug is still there.
I can reproduce this with gnome-terminal-2.13.91-1. It doesn't always happen right after creating a new profile, but after playing around a bit (open new tab, change profile, ...) it does. When this happens, there's one more stange effect: When you select Edit Current Profile... from the context menu and then try to change the profile name, the cursor jumps around (inside the text field) and the name gets all garbled up.
REOPENED status has been deprecated. ASSIGNED with keyword of Reopened is preferred.
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
