Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Seems to be the same for Kate, KDevelop and Okteta (trunk). But they all only embed one KonsolePart, so that action is not valid (and not wanted by Okteta and KDevelop, which automatically reload the KPart if it disappears).
I agree "Close Tab" is a little misleading, because what it actually does is "Close Session". That difference is more important and better observed in the standalone Konsole, especially when split view is in use. But I am not sure it is a good idea to remove that action from the context menu of Konsole Kpart. It provides a common way to close the Konsole Kpart. As for the automatic reloading in Okteka and Kdevelop, I do not know whether that is an intentional behavior, but I personally see it as bug instead of feature. Just my 2 cents.

Git commit 702f61953b26e978973cc5f626bbc58d74bcb7f0 by Kurt Hindenburg. Committed on 02/03/2013 at 22:17. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'. For KonsolePart use 'Close Session' as menu text Having 'Close Tab' in konsole part is not really correct as there is no tab.
