I can confirm this with Ubuntu's packages, as well as manually compiled VTE + gnome-terminal from git master (and hence no Ubuntu patches, no wrapper startup script).
Happens on "Ubuntu" desktop environment [Wayland] only, not on "Ubuntu (Xorg)" or any other. (Well, "GNOME" doesn't have a Terminal entry in its "right-click on the desktop" menu, not sure if it's supposed to be there or what makes it appear there.) Terminal windows started up in these two different ways are also not grouped together in the left-hand launchbar, or when Alt+Tabbing. However, they are all handled by a single common gnome-terminal-server process. Ctrl+Shift+N (new window) somehow remembers the context and opens another window of that kind. When pressed over a faulty window, the new one will be faulty too. When pressed over a good one, the new one is good too. If highlighted in a correct window, shift+insert pasting works in all the windows. If highlighted in a faulty window, shift+insert pasting doesn't work in the same window or other faulty windows, but works in healthy windows. (Note to myself: I could even try re-enabling tab DND across windows, and drag from a faulty to a correct one or vice versa to see what happens.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722121 Title: Gnome-Terminal ignores theme, preferences is unavailable, and copy not working when launching from right-click desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1722121/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
