Bug Description

Starting a terminal at the command line with two or more tabs only sets the first tab title. The other tab titles are set to 'Untitled'.

To reproduce:

1. In Edit / Preferences / General, set 'Initial title' to 'Terminal' and 'Dynamically set title' to 'Isn't displayed'

2. Start xfce4-terminal like this (two tabs):

xfce4-terminal --tab

3. The first tab has the correct title 'Terminal', the second tab has 'Untitled'

4. Same behavior with three tabs (and more):

xfce4-terminal --tab

Note that the bug appears only when new tabs are asked from the command line, not from the UI menu.

System: Ubuntu 18.04 64 bits
Package: xfce4-terminal 0.8.7.3-0ubuntu1

Regarding the bug I think it must be a regeression, since its not present in 14.04 LTS.

Yes, it's me... Nice to see there are Xfe users on Ubuntu...

I can confirm the bug is a regression. This uses to work as expected in Ubuntu 16.04.

It works when started like this:

xfce4-terminal --tab --dynamic-title-mode=none

I think it would be best to report this upstream.
