Bug#534821: [gnome-terminal] Ctrl-Shift-t change initial path of new terminal if a command is in execution

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.26.2-1
Severity: normal

open a new gnome-terminal

$ pwd
/home/davide

$ man gnome-terminal

Ctrl-Shift-t

$ pwd
/usr/share/man

So if you open a new tab with Ctrl-Shift-t you have the initial path of 
the command. If the command is in a directory you don't have the execute 
right, than your initial path is the root /

This is changed recently.

I think this is important because you can do command thinking you are in 
a directory, but you have been moved to another.

Ciao
Davide
