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 (???)

Expected:
using "gnome-terminal --tab" opens a new tab in an existing window
Actual Result:
using "gnome-terminal --tab" opens a new window
The output of "gnome-terminal --help" is probably a bit poorly worded.
The intent is that --tab opens a new tab in the window that was created by a preceding --window option of this very same "gnome-terminal" command line.
E.g.
gnome-terminal --window
