How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

2. type 'gnome-terminal --tab'
3. press <Enter>
  
Actual results:
A new *window* opens instead of new tab.

--tab works. I just doesn't do what you think it does.
'last-opened window' refers to the windows opened by the current commandline. 
Try 

 gnome-terminal --tab --tab --window --tab

to see what I mean
Comment 4 Mikhail Veltishchev 2012-01-16 08:36:50 UTC 
Aaargh! Now I got it, thanks.

But one question resides: is there any option/switch to open a new tab inside the current window?

Btw, my goal is to open many tabs with different titles and current directories using command (not to do it manually once and once again).
