Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

This crash occurs since upgrading to xserver-xorg-core to 2:1.2.0 and gnome-terminal from 2.17.91 to 2.17.92.
Only the terminal launched by session opening crashes, the furthers launches works well.

I have the same problem, although I was also able to get the terminal to crash shortly after logging in. After it had been sitting for an hour (lunch) then I was not able to get it to crash further.

Of course... I spoke to soon. I just went off to do some serious work, and was trying to setup my terminals in "the one true way" and gnome-terminal crashed when I opened up a new tab.

I can reliably make it crash now by setting my terminal to maximised (for me 209x73) and then opening tabs. By the time I have two tabs of that size open then gnome-terminal will crash. If I leave it at the default of 80x24 then it appears that I can open as many tabs and/or windows as I wish.

Further experimentation shows that reverting libvte9 to version 1:0.15.3-0ubuntu3 instead of the newly installed 1:0.15-4-0ubuntu1 makes gnome-terminal stable again.

That is the bug would appear to be in the new version of libvte9.

I could confirme Paul's workaround.
After reverting to libvte9 1:0.15.3-0ubuntu3, the crash is impossible to
reproduce.

Still wainting for a new libvte9 ;-)
