[konsole] [Bug 478353] New: split-view does not show the same document and instead launches a new shell

[Tomaz Canabrava]

Not a bug but an Intended change. The handbook is wrong for a while
aparently, and that will be changed.

It’s possible to add a new feature that would let the current view to be
mirrored in another split but the current way the Split View works is more
consistent with the way all other terminal do Split Views.
