Title:
Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of
gnome-terminal
Status in GNOME Terminal:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10, I get a warning about that
option -e is deprecated when starting gnome-terminal from the command
line. For example, assume I want to open a gnome-terminal with two
tabs, and running separate commands in each tab:

$ gnome-terminal --tab --active -e 'bash -c "echo Hello; exec bash"' --tab -e
'bash -c "echo Hello2; exec bash"'
Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of
gnome-terminal.
Use “-- ” to terminate the options and put the command line to execute after
it.

But how can I run separate commands for each tab if I am supposed to use --
to terminate the options? For example, the following does not work:

$ gnome-terminal --tab --active -- bash -c "echo Hello; exec bash" --tab --
bash -c "echo Hello2; exec bash"
It just opens a single tab.
