Description Erwin Gaubitzer 2019-10-29 09:46:44 UTC 
SUMMARY
Since recently the split view is subordinate to the tabs view, so one cannot combine existing tabs in a split view. This behavior was used before and is still visible on the konsole home page (https://konsole.kde.org/assets/img/konsolesplit.png) by having a tab list for each view.
It is preferred in a workflow where one wants to combine the contents of different tabs and change this combination when different processes want to be observed in other views while doing stuff in one view. Having just views without being able to change its contents to other tabs makes it much less useful.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create tabs
2. Split view in one tab

OBSERVED RESULT
Each view is fixed and can't change to a different tab

EXPECTED RESULT
Each view has the possibility to select an existing tab (like before 19.08).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0
Qt Version: 5.11.3
Comment 1 miforbes 2020-03-28 02:38:58 UTC 
I am also encountering this issue, and would like more of the <19.08 workflow to be restored.  In particular, I see no method of moving (via drag and drop, keyboard shortcut, or otherwise) an existing konsole shell to be part of a view of another shell.

Also, the documentation on views:

https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/konsole/commandreference.html#view-menu

is out of date, as "View -> Split View -> Close Others" no longer exists as an option (on my system).
