Steps to reproduce: 1- Open xfce4-terminal. 2- Right click. 3- Press on preferences. 4- Go to "Colors" tab. 5- Enable "Vary the background color for each tab". 6- Close the preferences window. 7- Change focus away from/towards the terminal. Watch the background color change. Please note: Opening multiple tabs and changing between them does not change the background color of the tabs. Distro: Arch Linux + i3wm Journalctl shows nothing vte-common 0.56.3-1 vte3 0.56.3-1 Tested against the latest version in the Arch repos (0.8.8 (Xfce 4.14pre2)). Here is a video demonstrating what I mean: https://gentz.rocks/files/2019-07-23%2015-04-04.m4v
(I should clarify, first in the video I show that the color does not change when switching tabs, then I show that it changes when switching focus, then I show even the non-visible tabs change color when focus changes)
Thanks for the report! I cannot open your video from this machine but I can reproduce the issue. Will look into it.
