** Description changed:
- There is not a "New Tab" option in the file menu of GNOME Terminal
- anymore on Ubuntu Bionic. It looks like it disappeared after some recent
- update. However, the CTRL + Shift + T shortcut works as expected.
+ Impact
+ ------
+ GNOME Terminal removed the New Tab menu option before Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Tabs
are a really popular feature in terminals and it's annoying to have this
feature hidden.
+
+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ Install the update.
+ Close all terminals.
+ Open a terminal.
+ In the File menu should be New Tab and New Window menu items. Both should
work.
+
+ Regression Potential
+ --------------------
+ Restoring the previous behavior is now a one-line hidden configure option.
+
+ Enabling that option removes the "Open new terminals in" option
+ mentioned in the workaround.
+
+ This build option is set in Fedora and is not believed to have any
+ negative consequences.
+
+ Other Info
+ ----------
+ There are no plans at this time to try to backport this change to Ubuntu
16.04 LTS or 17.10. If I understand the blog post correctly, it would not be a
simple one-line change there.

+ menu-items-for-opening-tabs-and-windows/
+
+ Workaround
+ ----------
+ In Edit > Preferences (General) you can set "Open new terminals in Tab". Now,
the File > New Window menu item opens a new tab instead of a new window.

+ Original Bug Report
+ -------------------
+ There is not a "New Tab" option in the file menu of GNOME Terminal anymore on
Ubuntu Bionic. It looks like it disappeared after some recent update. However,
the CTRL + Shift + T shortcut works as expected.
