Tab names lost after reboot or after launching file manager (Caja)

[wskorodecki-paypo]

Describe the bug

Custom tab names are lost after rebooting the system or after launching Caja.

Expected behavior

Once a new custom name is set for a tab it should be remembered and used again after restarting Guake, OS or after launching file manager like Caja directly from Guake tab.

Actual behavior

Each tab name are being reset to the default (containing a path). Additionally - launching Caja directly from Guake tab leads to clear output in every tab.

To Reproduce

Run the following command directly from Guake tab:

caja

If you go to preferences and check the "Automatically save session when the tabs has been modified" box Guake should save tab names immediately

[wskorodecki-paypo]

@Davidy22 I have this option enabled for a long time. It looks like there is some bug because running caja directly from Guake resets tab names. It is weird because sometimes when I launch Caja outside of Guake the problem occurs again.

From user perspective it looks like some problem with internal communication with system. Perhaps it is DBus related?

[Davidy22]

Went and installed caja, ran caja in a renamed tab and did not encounter this. Do you maybe have any scripts set to run with a caja session?

[Davidy22]

Actually, if we suspect there's some rogue dbus signals being sent you could run dbus-monitor, invoke the bug and grab the output generated when you invoked the bug to see if any program sent a dbus signal it shouldn't have.

[wskorodecki-paypo]

The following output has been generated after running dbus-monitor from QTerminal:

That's not quite what I was expecting to see. Is Guake is restarting when you run caja? When you invoke the bug, do your Guake terminals clear and reset?

[wskorodecki-paypo]

It doesn't look like full restart but yes - Guake's tabs are completely cleared & reset. Other terminals like QTerminal remains untouched.

[Davidy22]

So, including the text entered into the tabs? Like what they'd look like after someone types a clear?

[wskorodecki-paypo]

Worse - as if I closed the tab and created a new one.

[Davidy22]

Alright yeah that's what it looks like from the dbus output. So, for whatever reason, running caja is fully closing and restarting Guake on your system, it's not just resetting tab names. I suspect there's some kind of script or action set up somewhere, because fully exiting and then starting up Guake again isn't a feature provided by Guake itself.

[mrpavlikov]

I have this bug in Ubuntu 22.04 after upgrading from 21.10. Every time I close and restart Guake or reboot system it resets all tabs names. It was fine on previous Ubuntu versions.

Having the same issue after updating to 22.04 ubuntu budgie

[Davidy22]

Tab names changing after closing and reopening guake is different from the original reporter's issue where they observe guake restarting when a seemingly unrelated program is launched

[carolpettirossi]

Having the same issue after updating to 22.04

[pongraczi]

Using Ubutntu PPA, version 3.9.0 seems working as expected.
