(sorry, accidentally hit "Post") E.g.
gnome-terminal --window --profile=asdf --tab --profile=qwer --tab --profile=zxcv Other than here, gnome-terminal does not keep track which of its windows was the "last opened" (which may not even exist by that time, so it'd need to be "most recent" instead, but again, it doesn't keep track of it). Keeping track of this would probably be counterintuitive since it has nothing to do with anything on the UI (e.g. visual arrangements of the windows, or most recently used one, etc.). -- 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.
