Description Lonni J Friedman 2017-07-28 22:03:21 UTC
Description of problem:

Since upgrading from Fedora24 to 25 (now running xfce4-terminal-0.8.5.1-1.fc25.x86_64), the --tab option no longer works if I already have a pre-existing xfce4-terminal window open.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-terminal-0.8.5.1-1.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
100% of the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run 'xfce4-terminal --tab'
2.
3.

Actual results:
Nothing happens

Expected results:
A new tab is created in the pre-existing xfce4-terminal window, or a new window is opened

Additional info:
[netllama@netllama ~]$ xfce4-terminal --tab
[netllama@netllama ~]$ echo $?
0

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2017-07-28 22:34:24 UTC
This is fixed in 0.8.6 I am pretty sure. 

I didn't build that version for f25, but I can/should... look for an update to test out in a few.
