Description Paul Verest

After restart current directory and encoding setting are lost.

I opened 2 local shells selecting UTF-8, and doing some work in different dirs.
After Eclipse restart Terminal View and tabs within are restored, directory location falls back to user home and encoding to system default (not selected UTF-8)

I agree that the terminal's encoding must be restored after quit and restart.

Regarding the directory, we'll only be able to restore the directory that the terminal was started with (if started from project explorer). We won't be able to restore the "current directory" since we cannot track the terminal's "current directory" as you start using the shell. That additional request is to some extent discussed in bug 441652 .

Fixed for the encoding part. Encoding is correctly restored now.

I've split the loss of the startup directory into new bug 460495 , which only has "normal" severity.

This allows marking the "encoding" issue as fixed via this bug, which was a major problem.
