Description Steve Fosdick 2018-03-23 11:49:42 UTC 
This may be related to #743724 but is not quite the same.

Having opened the first terminal window in a new GNOME session by picking the icon from the panel on the left of the activities view if I then right click on the background of that terminal and choose "New Terminal" it opens the new terminal in a tab even though I have the preference under "General" set to open new terminals in a new window.  If I then close the new tab and choose "New Terminal" again, this time it opens in a new window and all subsequent new terminals open in new windows.

Could you please check if you're experiencing the same as bug 794402?
Comment 2 Steve Fosdick 2018-03-23 12:34:33 UTC 
Yes, it is.  Glad to see this has been changed to Ctrl-Click only.  I take it the fix will be in a point release, like 3.28.1?
