Hello, I use the terminal (F4) option in Dolphin all the time. Until tonight, the terminal window would change depending on whether I was in my local box or my server. Today, I noticed that the terminal window would NOT reflect my server box even though the GUI window to my server was active. Is this a new bug, or a new 'feature'?

I've seen the Dolphin terminal get stuck before. I'll type exit in the terminal to close it and then F4 to open the terminal again, which then behaves normally.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work the way it used to.

Hmmm. This is either tangentially-related or an extension of the same issue you experienced... but I started using the terminal within Kate this past week troubleshooting a .bash_aliases function error and noticed that it too was not updating its environment as expected, even after editing the file and running source ~/.bashrc.

I spent 30 minutes only to realize that all of my edits/source reloading were not registering within the Kate terminal for some reason, but were working as expected in Konsole. Once I shutdown Kate and restarted it, the issue was fixed but that seems like a bug and it makes me wary about leaning to heavily on the terminal within Kate (or any other KDE apps outside of Konsole)
