This bug is also present in gnome-terminal version 3.6.2. Here is my configuration:
$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-terminal gnome-terminal: Installed: 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status When I open gnome-terminal with multiple tabs from the command line, I would like to preselect (on the command line) which one of the tabs should get focus. I tried gnome-terminal --tab -t A --active --tab -t B to set tab A as the active, but instead tab B becomes the active one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294159 Title: Option "--active" doesn't work as expected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1294159/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
