I do not consider it a particular bug to be unable to split horizontally and
vertically at the same time when it is possible to retain share tabs per all
split view. That design worked nicely. The most common use case for this mode
would be to display X horizontal or X vertical tabs, since the tab bar in each
split view takes up some space. I'd say horizontal would be more common due to
the way how tabs are presented. This mode does not necessarily require splits
beyond horizontal or vertical, whichever is picked first.

The idea that there should be one tabbar with tabs selecting different split
views is based on a false premise a user wants / needs a browser style tab. The
old design has its merit in quickly being able to display the tabs that are
needed without any hassle. The new design is unwieldy in that it requires split
views to be isolated to a particular tab, making it impossible to manage
console sessions and them sessions around with ease.

Whoever came up with the old design got it right. Then came changes to make
konsole mimic a browser-like tab managed interface, with tabs first, views
second and broke the sensible design.
