OBSERVED RESULT

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.8.1-arch1-1
KDE Plasma: 5.85.19.4
(available in About System)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
usually open one konsole, paste several commands that open a second window and all other commands are in new-tabs on the second window.
this was working fine before unti 20.04 but in 20.08 just opens new windows.
I updated today my Arch Linux.

Downgraded to 20.04 and it works again.I have konsole-20.04.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst on my cache.

Please go to konsole settings -> General -> Run all konsole windows in a single session.

This happens because a fix for konsole multi-session mode changed the behavior, and now if konsole runs with multiple sessions there's no way to open a tab in a specified PID.

*currently* this is considered more an annoyance (as it's fixed by a simple settings change) but we are looking for alternatives on how to properly fix this even in multiple PID's.
