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. [netllama@netllama ~]$ xfce4-terminal --tab [netllama@netllama ~]$ echo $? 0 I would expect a new tab to be opened in the pre-existing window (or at least a new window with a tab opened).
Hi, this has been fixed in 0.8.6: https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=13c71c81eb54db919ca23c870a9af1cb92233dca
