Dear maintainer, It seems Tilix somehow fails to execute the /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh script supplied by libvte-2.91-common, which means each new terminal opens in $HOME. This works fine in Gnome Terminal. The Tilix wiki provides some workarounds (e.g., softlinking to /etc/profile.d/vte.sh), but I feel this should be unnecessary, or at least the Tilix package should do it for the user.
I confirm that both the missing badge feature and the missing feature to open new tabs with the same current working directory are fixed in Ubuntu 25.10 which now includes the bash fix for https://bugs.debian.org/675008 . Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
bash 5.3-1 was uploaded to unstable today, fixing a variety of issues in various vte-based terminal apps. As I mentioned in https://bugs.debian.org/675008, it is not currently planned for this fix to be uploaded to Debian 13. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
