Bug#961223: gnome-terminal: New terminal button default settting does not work, always in a tab.

[Matthijs Melchior]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.36.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

The "Preferences-General" dialogue offers the option
"Open new terminal in:" with choises "Window" or "Tab".
This setting is not used when clicking the "+" button
at the left top.

My expectation was that it would invert the action of
the "ctrl" key while clicking the "+" button:
click to get a new window and ctrl-click to get a new tab.

Thanks.
