SUMMARY
***
Hello,
if you right click on the Konsole icon on the Panel and you choose "New tab" it opens a new window. (see attachment). This affects Plasma 6.
I've tried to do the same on Falkon, but it works. It seems a Konsole-specific issue

I'm seeing this with Konsole 23.08.3 from the Arch Linux repos as well, so this seems to be a relatively old problem.

Enabling the "Run all Konsole windows in a single process" option in Konsole's settings makes the problem go away though.

Not sure if this is intended behavior, but enabling "run all Konsole windows in a single process" seems to fix this issue.

I confirm that enabling the "run all Konsole windows in a single process" solves the problem.

On the other hand, that option doesn't seems to work fine: if it's enabled and you select "Open a new window" in the right-click menu, it really opens a new window while I'm expecting Konsole to be forced to open a new tab.

So perhaps better documentation/hints describing this option is needed..
