Last modified: 2010-06-04 23:19:42 EDT
Description of problem: With the Terminal Panel enabled, when changing directories by clicking in the graphical part of Dolphin, the Terminal will show 2 commands, on the first being ^C (control uppercase-C), then on a second line, the cd command. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4.3-2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: As formerly, clicking inthe graphical part of dolphin to change directories should issue only one corresponding command in the Terminal Panel, namely the cd command. Additional info:
This blemish is still present in kde-4.80.
This is a issue which needs to be reported upstream. Please file a report at http://bugs.kde.org Please add upstream report info to this report. We will monitor the upstream report for a resolution.

Actually, as I explained on the mailing list when this came up, this is not a bug at all, it's a bugfix: it makes sure the entry line is clear when the cd command is entered, otherwise, if e.g. the user has typed "rm -rf " before changing the directory, a disaster is bound to happen!
In fact, this is the commit which changed this: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=1106403 and this is the bug it fixed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161637
