            Bug ID: 400617
           Summary: Tabs either hang or are slow to respond
           Product: konsole
           Version: 17.04.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: dario at growingman.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Tabs take a long time to close or to be created.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I still cannot reproduce it consistently. There are days when this does not
happen, but usage pattern is pretty similar from day to day.
2. It starts after closing an SSH connection to some server (not always the
same one) and I try to close the tab I opened for that connection.

OBSERVED RESULT
After entering 'exit' at the shell prompt, the bash replies with 'exit' on the
next line and the tab hangs in there instead of closing. This happens also if
the 'Close tab' button is used instead.
After the first event happens, opening new tabs takes a long time and when they
do, the following appears:
Warning: Could not start program '/bin/bash' with arguments '/bin/bash'.
Warning: Process operation timed out
After a few minutes, the expected shell prompt appears. The tab can then be
used as usual.

EXPECTED RESULT
Closing a tab by exiting the shell or using the button:
- should be fast
- terminate all the related processes
- inform the user on processes that cannot be terminated.
