This bug is also present in gnome-terminal version 3.6.2. Here is my
configuration:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release:	14.04

$ apt-cache policy gnome-terminal
gnome-terminal:
  Installed: 3.6.2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.6.2-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


When I open gnome-terminal with multiple tabs from the command line, I would like to preselect (on the command line) which one of the tabs should get focus.

I tried

gnome-terminal --tab -t A --active --tab -t B

to set tab A as the active, but instead tab B becomes the active one.

Title:
  Option "--active" doesn't work as expected

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi

  I am using Ubuntu 13.10 with GNOME-Terminal 3.6.1 (German language):
  gnome-terminal:
    Installiert:           3.6.1-0ubuntu6

  From an alias definition I try to call it with the following command:
   gnome-terminal --geometry=160x25+20+30 --tab --active --command 'ssh -X -o ServerAliveInterval=300 oml1' --tab --tab &

  I expect the terminal to start in the first tab with the ssh-command
  supplied, because of the option "--active" I used. But this doesn't
  work as expected. The program displays the last tab instead. Am I
  wrong? Did I make a mistake?
