[Bug 725327] Re: bash 4.2 does not save history (~/.bash_history) when using close window

[Antonio J. de Oliveira]

In Xubuntu Saucy 64-bit I had the same problem, somehow during
installation .bash_history was owned by root. Just had it modified by:

sudo chown <user>.<user> .bash_history

and

sudo chmod 755 .bash_history

and got my history back
