Bug Description

When in the wayland session, it takes around 30 seconds from when I press Ctrl+Alt+T to when the terminal (gnome-terminal) actually opens. If I press multiple times sequentially, it will take 30 seconds between each launch. When I launch via activities or any other way, it opens immediately as it should.

Edit: It happens in the default session as well.

I have fresh install of Lubuntu 18.04 and Ctrl+Alt+T fails to open the LXTerminal although it can be opened from the LXMenu. I am not sure if this is related.
