It turns out this was an intentional upstream change:

- https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/issues/321
- https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/merge_requests/94

After that was released, it was noted that the previous behavior
actually *was* a feature, and that some users even expected it to work
that way:

- https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/issues/350

There was a fairly quick follow-up to the 1.1.4 release with a 1.1.5
that included a hidden setting to restore the previous behavior, but
as we see in this report, Trixie missed 1.1.5 😅

The change is fairly small and IMO would be a pretty reasonable thing
to try and include in a stable update (especially since it really is a
regression in functionality from Bookworm for many users), but I am
neither the maintainer of xfce4-terminal nor a member of the release
team, so it's really not up to me (I'm just an affected user who also
wants that old behavior back, ideally in Trixie 😭😅💖).
