           Summary: New terminals in split screen seem to be treated as a
                    new tab

            Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
There are several things I really dislike about the new split view
implementation.

1. When you start a new split view it tiles all of your windows, even if they
are on a different tab. Instead of having different views separated by tabs,
they are no longer separated. This is very annoying and I find it to be quite
unproductive. It pretty much eliminates the usefulness of the tab feature.

2. When you split the view vertically, it no longer just divides that
horizontal section. It now divides the entire window horizontally. If you split
vertically, it does the exact same.

3. The new terminals for split screen seem to be treated as a new tab, when
they should be treated as a new terminal within the current tab, as this allows
easily switching between layouts / workspaces in a very efficient manner.

Here as an example of what I performed and the results with screen shots:

Start new Konsole, make a new tab and rename them to Tab 1 and Tab 2

As you can see, the new terminals are not within the current tab and it
re-arranges the entire work space rather than allowing horizontally split
terminals to then be split vertically.
