+ <p>The tab bar is shown at the top a <app>Terminal</app> window that has
+ multiple tabs open (it looks like a row of buttons). Click on a tab to switch
+ to it. You can open multiple tabs to manage your work in <app>Terminal</app>.
+ This will allow you to multi-task with activities such as running programs,
+ browsing directories and editing text files in a single <app>Terminal</app>
+ window.</p>

+ This will overwrite any titles that would be set by terminal commands.
+ </p>
+ <note>
+ <p>It is not possible to set back the automatically set title once it
+ has been set for a tab. To see the title, you need to allow terminal
+ command titles to be shown in the <gui style="menuitem">Profile
+ Preferences</gui>.</p>
