@Purple@woof.tech They could fix the commingling as at least OS X, no idea if this changed in macOS, stored history per tab.
However, my problem isn't the commingling. It's the inconsistency. I don't understand why hitting the up arrow doesn't always return the last command I ran.
There's no reason to arbitrarily jump back in history. It's like someone reading a book closed the book, but then went "wait, I still want to keep reading" and reopened it, but then guessed (wrongly) what page to reopen it to.

@Purple@woof.tech It's almost like someone realized the commingling thing was annoying then tried to "fix" it after the fact, which just causes more problems. When the reality is they could save the histories to one commingled messy place to preserve existing behavior, but save separately based on an internal tab ID or object that also holds the CWD in addition to the name. That's what I'd do. They wrote Terminal to be a better CLI app. No reason they can't do better than CMD on purpose.
