ctrl-alt-t opens new terminal window instead of new tab while gnome terminal is active window
ctrl-alt-t opens a new window instead of a new tab while the shell is the active window. I see in the terminal shortcut settings --which are enabled-- (in terminal window: edit > preferences > shortcuts) that ctrl-alt-t is meant to open a new tab.
Prior to this issue I followed the instructions here to try to customize the shortcut, and I then followed the "rollback" directions in that post to undo it since it wasn't working. Maybe that's what messed things up for me?
Steps to create this issue:
1. open a gnome-shell terminal window
2. mouse click on the terminal to ensure it is active
3. ctrl-alt-t
Expected result: new terminal tab opens in existing window.
Observed result: new and separate terminal window opens.
gnome-shell --version is "GNOME Shell 3.28.3"
Thanks so much for any help!

The answer you link is though probably the right one. Would you please try again to activate shortcuts in Gnome terminal, then close and re-open it to be sure that modifications are applied, and then add a screenshot of the shortcuts in your post?
