@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.

@Purple@woof.tech Well, OK, that's kinda incomplete. At minimum, I want what causes the jumping disabled. If I ask it to save my tabs in settings, then it knows if I reopen Terminal it'll have the same tab count and order, and can pair those up with their own histories/settings saved on disk. If I don't, then Terminal will reopen with a single tab and get the expected combined default history. If I open a new window while using one with multiple tabs, that too would get the current combined history.
