            Bug ID: 488396
           Summary: konsole  --tabs-from-file sometimes fails to open a
                    window
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 24.02.2
          Platform: Solus
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kdedev at tlcnet.info
  Target Milestone: ---

After creating and testing a couple of tab configuration files, Konsole would
no longer open a window with --tabs-from-file

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a simple tab configuration file with just one line
title: Tab1;; command: /usr/bin/top

2. Attempt to launch Konsole with the file using:  konsole --hold
--tabs-from-file konsole_layouts/test1

OBSERVED RESULT
A window of the right size appears for a split second and immediately
disappears

EXPECTED RESULT
A new window opens with the tab specified in the config file

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Solus 4.5
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
Kernel Version: 6.8.11-292.current (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm happy to help troubleshoot the problem. If necessary, please let me know
what I can do to provide more information.

During my testing, at first the feature worked. At some point, perhaps due to a
command in a tab Konsole didn't like? --tabs-from-file stopped opening a new
window. 
Closing all editors that had the config files opened allowed it to work again,
but it stopped working again after additional testing.
I made sure only one konsole process was running after pressing Ctrl-C to get
rid of the ghost window
I rebooted, but that didn't change anything

There are no lines written to the system log at the time of the window failing
to open
This is the only output in terminal (from what I've read, the error isn't
really related)

Then, I launched with a different profile that had this and it was successful
title: SysAdminNotes ;; workdir: ~/Nextcloud/Notes/SysAdmin ;; profile: Sand
title: htpc ;; command: ssh htpc

I don't know if it was opening a very different tabs config or some timeout
happened in the background that allowed it to work again.

❯ konsole --tabs-from-file konsole_layouts/test1

are supported

There is no crash, the process list shows the command still running
