Hi,

My login shell is bash, so I tried to reproduce your report.
I'm not able to reproduce it, neither with my own account (logging
in with "ignore customizations"), nor with a test account.

I tried various combinations of "bash", "bash -l", "gnome-terminal",
"gnome-terminal -e bash -l", and "gnome-terminal -e bash".

Do you have reproduction instructions for the case where you log
in with "ignore customizations" ?

(I grant that my own dotfiles may be suspicious, because I've
customized them heavily.)

Regards,
 -Jacob
