This is similar to 337241, but looks like a distinct problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open Konsole 2. open a second tab with Ctrl-Shift-T 3. use Ctrl-Shift-Left to move the selected second tab to the left -> tabbar disappears The tabbar stays hidden when tabs are moved again, but it reappears on the next Ctrl-Shift-T. It does not disappear when there are more than three tabs, and only when the tabbar is configured to be shown when needed only (i.e. only for >1 tab). My suspicion is that the reordering is done by removing one of the tab (which causes the tabbar to be hidden) and inserting it at the new position (which *should* cause the tabbar to become visible once more, but that step seems to be broken).
I can't reproduce this issue with konsole 17.08.1 or the master branch. Can you still reproduce this issue?

Can confirm it's solved in recent versions, tested with 17.12 and it's working fine for any number of tabs.
