The bug is still here in Ubuntu 17.10. Tested by opening gedit, and adding a second tab : my eyes can hardly tell which tab is active.

This makes it very hard to distinguish between the current active tab and all the others and on a HiDPI screen pretty much impossible. * This fix has been ack'd by design and was targeted for X but didn't get reviewed and OK'd in time. Design team have approved this styling. * This bug is fixed by extending the CSS specifically for Terminal (i.e. no other applications are affected) giving the active tab a darker background colour (using only theme defined colours) and reworks the borders around the tabs to remove the graduated image borders that only look right on a light coloured background. Changes have been made for both Ambiance and Radiance. [Test Case] * On a stock 16.04 install open GNOME Terminal (ctrl-alt-t) * Open five new tabs (ctrl-shift-t) * Click on the tab in the middle * Note that it is hard to see at a glance which tab is currently selected * Close Terminal and all open tabs. * Install the patched theme * Open Terminal and open five new tabs * Click on the tab in the middle and note that it takes on a light grey background compared to the unselected tabs which are dark grey. [Regression Potential] * The patch only addresses tabs that are placed at the top of the window. However this is the only option in Terminal, so should not cause any problems. * There is a work-around to match the "actions bar" (the bit with the dropdown selector and + button). This bug is supposed to be fixed in v3.20 and could be removed. This is commented in the CSS.
