Thanks for reporting.

Yes, your guess for bug 184788 is right. The behavior is changed mainly because
it is often confusing and annoying, although handy in some cases. "New Tab"
action triggered though shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+T by default) should always open
new tab using the default profile. That's the most intuitive way and what most
users would expect.

So the problem is users might have different expectation of what "New Tab"
should do in that case. I personally prefer the current way over the old way,
because it at least allow users to open local shell in new tab, while the old
way might make it impossible if no profile is set to "show in menu".

As I have suggested in bug 254976, one solution could be adding a new action
dedicated for the lost handy feature: "Clone Tab".

Finally, there is a trick at the moment: use "konsole --profile
some-ssh-profile" (or use the Konsole sessions plugin for krunner) instead of
"konsole -e ssh user at host". Then "New Tab" will behave like "Clone tab".
However, I personally see that as a hidden bug so it might stop working
sometime later.
