Rapidly opening multiple tabs loses current working directory

[egmontkob]

Forwarding from https://gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/ptyxis/-/issues/570, since Tilix suffers from the exact same issue.

Summary

UI bug: There's a timing issue when using CTRL+SHIFT+T to open new tabs, in that it loses the context of the 'current working directory'

This works fine if you do it slowly i.e. wait for the new tab to show the command prompt before repeating the new tab action, but otherwise, because the UI context immediately switches to the new tab, which doesn't initially have a sense of 'current directory' repeating the CTRL+SHIFT+T means that the third tab opened reverts to the default of opening a prompt in user's home directory.

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the exact steps needed to trigger the issue.

1. Change to some directory other than home (first tab)
2. Hit CTRL+SHIFT+T twice rapidly
3. First 2 tabs will be in target directory, third one will be in home directory

Expected Behavior

All 3 tabs should be in the target directory

Actual Behavior

Third tab starts off in home directory

My note: Tilix is fast enough that I cannot press Ctrl+Shift+T twice rapidly enough. But the bug can easily be triggered by holding down Ctrl+Shift+T for a bit longer, or by inserting a sleep 1 at the beginning of .bashrc.
