I agree that these options are far from ideal. Could you please share your entire (desired) use case / workflow? It's hard for me to imagine how you'd use these options.
Note that Ubuntu folks are extremely unlikely to create and maintain a patch for your feature request. gnome-terminal development is tracked in GNOME's bugzilla, this conversation should happen there. Could you please file a bug there? I'll likely comment on it, but I'm not the main developer to decide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1661211 Title: open new tab doesn't work as intended Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: According to the help (output of "gnome-terminal --help-terminal"), if i use the "--tab" option a new tab will be opened in the last window opened from the default profile. But, again, if i try to use the command " gnome-terminal --tab ", a new window will be opened, and it will not open it in the newest window with the default profile ( the wrong behavious happens if the latest opened window is the same on which the command is run and it also happens if it isn't ). I don't know if it help, but a similar bug with mate-terminal (which has similar options) has been reported and, according to the tracking, resolved and came up again and resolved again (???) https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/45 https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/96 Thank you very much.
