What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Terminal window
2. Try to use aliases or the like you've defined in your .bash_profile

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

None of the customizations I have defined in my .bash_profile are available

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Oliver,

Use .bashrc for that purpose. .bash_profile is for interactive login shells. 
Better move everything to .bashrc and modify profile to read like:

# /etc/skel/.bash_profile

# This file is sourced by bash for login shells.  The following line
# runs your .bashrc and is recommended by the bash info pages.
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
