2018-05-11 20:44:16 Jeremy Bícha description 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. https://debarshiray.wordpress.com/2018/05/11/gnome-terminal-separate-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.
