7 F.Y.I.
8 I posted the same question on the KDE-User mailing list and got the following answer:

11 For the 4.8.x series, there is no way. See
12 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184788 for why the old behavior
13 is sometimes problematic.

15 A new action "Clone Tab" has been added in the development version,
16 which is dedicated for that handy/confusing behavior. See
17 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292518 .

19 If this change is unbearable for you and you can't wait for KDE SC
20 4.9, you can build from source code either the older version or the
21 development version. You can get the source code of Konsole from
22 https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/konsole/repository.
23 Checkout the master branch or the v4.7.4 tag. If you are unfamiliar
24 with building KDE applications, take a look at
25 http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Example.
