The only explanation for removing the menu item "File/Open Tab" is, that maintainers of gnome-terminal do not use Gnome terminal themselves. Also in 3.18.3 (Ubuntu 16.04) if I expand the terminal size to maximum (double click on the menu bar) it would not return back to its previous size when double clicked again.
