painutils/print on new multishell or shell tab

[DenavDot]

So,whenever I try to use print() printError() paintutils.X after I've made and switched to a multishell or shell tab, the text/drawing still shows up on the original terminal, and not the new one. Am I doing something wrong?

here's a simple demonstration:
(P.S I open "lua" for the program,but I just need a basic screen to be able to draw/print in(like a monitor), so any program would do)

local t=shell.openTab("lua")
shell.switchTab(t)

print("testing!")
paintutils.drawFilledBox(5,5,10,10,colors.gray)

When you switchTab you only change which tab of multishell is active/visible to user. You code will keep executing in tab you ran it.
There is currently no way to just have code jump between tabs like this. Best you can do is have 2 programs communicate over events for example.
