            Bug ID: 336618
           Summary: new tab shell loses symlink path
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.12.4
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: mayavimmer at gmail.com

The shell created by new tab does not preserve the correct path info when a
path component is symlinked. Therefore pwd in the new tab gives the "physical
directory structure" oath instad of the logical one. See example below.
This is very bad because complex software fails in subtle ways if the symlinks
are wrong.
I can no longer trust a quick ctl-alt-t.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /tmp
2. mkdir -p d1/d2
3. ln -s d1/d2 .
4. cd d2
5. <open new tab>
6. pwd
Actual Results:  
tab1: /tmp/d2
tab2: /tmp/d1/d2


Expected Results:  
tab1: /tmp/d2
tab2: /tmp/d2

I consider it a major bug because it breaks some user code.
I had a Makefile fail after I do "cd d2", but only in new tabs!
