Description
Tested on haiku-nightly-hrev47259-x86gcc2hybrid-vmware
boot system New terminal cd ~ cd Desktop cd Home cd Desktop cd Home displays as ~/Desktop/Home/Desktop/Home>
you can keep looping with the home symlink, expected behavior would not display symlink as a directory Should be displayed as ~>
Also shows looped path in command line app PWD, so this is not isolated to the CD command

I don't think this is unexpected. It works the same on Linux. Otherwise you would get confused even more:
cd Desktop/home/Desktop cd ../../.. # I should be back to where I started now.

That's standard bash behavior, and is identical on other platforms. Doing otherwise would be potentially problematic for things like scripts anyways.
