when I run this command line to open a new window, and in the new window open a new tab, it's disappointing that the zoom factor is not inherited; although upstream has obsolete, can this still be fixed? to keep zoom factor applying to all tabs in the same window?

gnome-terminal --geometry=132x43 --window --active --zoom=1.5

this bug is still reproducing in ubuntu 15.10

Title:
  command-line option --zoom=ZOOMFACTOR fails when called with multiple
  tabs

Status in GNOME Terminal:
  Expired
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  GNOME gnome-terminal 2.22.1 on Hardy.

  The following command open two tabs in a new terminal window but seems
  to ignore the zoom factors

  gnome-terminal --tab --zoom=3 --tab --zoom=3

  gnome-terminal  --tab --zoom=3 --tab

  also produces two tabs with no zoom.

  However, the command

  gnome-terminal --tab --zoom=3

  works ... producing one tab with the proper zoom factor.

  Importance:
  If zoom doesn't work then the whole command line aspect of gnome-terminal is not very useful since opening several tabs with a script only to have to manually fix the size is a real pain.  The zoom factor is properly inherited from manually opened (ctrl-shift-t) tabs.
