[Geany] VTE startup issues

[William Moon]

Hi,

I am new to Geany and so far I really like it. I have two questions though.

Every time I start Geany and look at the VTE, the prompt is gibberish. 
When I use left click - Restart Terminal, the prompt is fine from that 
point on during the session. Is there something I can do to get the 
prompt to start up normally?

Also, every time I start Geany the VTE starts in the same directory. If 
I edit files in other directories and shut down Geany, when I restart it 
the VTE is still in the same original directory. Is there a way I can 
change the directory that the VTE starts in?

I'm using Geany 0.18 on Ubuntu Jaunty.

Sincere Thanks,
Bill
