Summary0004434: Ctrl+shift+t duplicate a terminal, the default directory is HOME
Description

If current user is not root. Open a terminal and enter a directory (The directory is not HOME directory) such as /etc, then use Ctrl+shift+t duplicate a new terminal tab, the new terminal tab directory default is HOME.

If current user is root. Open a terminal and enter a directory (The directory is not HOME directory) such as /etc, then use Ctrl+shift+t duplicate a new terminal tab, the new terminal tab directory default is /etc.

That means if root duplicate a terminal tab, it keeps previous directory. If others account duplicate a terminal tab, it can't keep previous directory.

My questions: how to set others account (not root) duplicate a terminal tab keep previous directory default?

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Not root account login the system and open a terminal.
  2. Enter a directory (not HOME), such as /etc.
  3. Ctrl+shift+t duplicate a new terminal tab.
  4. Check the new terminal tab directory default is HOME. (I want the default directory is /etc).

It works correctly in kali light with xfce4-terminal.

Which version of kali are you using? gnome, mate, kde, xfce, light ?

I don't have this inconsistency either. In any case, even if it's real, it's not a big problem and not worth spending our time on it. Closing the ticket.
