Well, I have created a custom dir structure to send you, but could not reproduce the weird behaviour. But I had it the whole day long. I will watch with more attention and, if it seems to be rather constant, I can send you a tarball of my real dev tree -- if this is what you mean above -- together with a "bug reproduction" sequence, as far as possible.
Waiting for that, let us describe the thing simplier:
When I have several modules of different dirs open at the same time: it happens *sometimes*, when I try and run one of them, that the necessary dir change is not executed. (But something happens on the terminal's caret: it stops blinking and the square becomes empty.) So that run fails. "Follow path of the current file" does not help, instead it fails exactly the same way. (Which means that the failure is not bound to the run action). The actual dir change performed by the user with a click on a tab, and possible editing/saving on a file that resides in the new dir, is like forgotten.
