When right-clicking an Xfce4-terminal window and selecting "Open Terminal", often two new terminal windows appear. This can also be seen using the comand-line --window option. e.g. my somewhat complex setup to launch 4 terminals at login:
nohup xfce4-terminal --role "Terminal" --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --geometry 80x25+1920+720 --command 'screen -S a1' --tab --command 'screen -S a2' \
--window --role "Terminal" --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --geometry 80x25+2334+720 --command 'screen -S b1' --tab --command 'screen -S b2' \
--window --role "Terminal" --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --geometry 80x25+2748+720 --command 'screen -S c1' --tab --command 'screen -S c2' \
--window --role "Terminal" --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --geometry 80x25+3162+720 --tab \
--window --role "Terminal" --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --geometry 80x25+0+0 \
>/dev/null &
Executing this command often causes *eight* terminals to pop up and execute their given commands, as it it had been executed twice.
