Dear Maintainer,

Adding a tab via the GUI menu or the hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+T) correctly
vertically extends the window to accommodate a new tab bar.  Adding a
tab via the command line (xfce4-terminal --tab) does not do this,
but shrinks the terminal grid by *two* lines.

Expected behaviour: xfce4-terminal --tab should maintain the terminal grid
size, when adding a tab bar, like the GUI menu/hotkey does.
