Konsole 19.08 RC on Arch Linux... STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Konsole 2. right click on its entry in plasma planel, select "Open a new tab" (Konsole opens a new window instead) 3. repeat the previous step: now a new tab opens as expected SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
yes, this is likely due to the plasma Konsole icon doesn't realize there's an already open Konsole.
It's not a new problem though, see bug#373440.
(In reply to Wolfgang Bauer from comment #2) > It's not a new problem though, see bug#373440. I'll mark it as duplicate. The taskmanager context menu just runs "konsole --new-tab", and that's exactly what the other bug report is about. See /usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop: ...
