Hi there, for those seeking for a solution to this: removing the orca package permanently solves this issue:
sudo apt purge orca This has no visible impact on the functioning of the system, just a slight increase of the overall fluidity of the DE. Best. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788364 Title: Terminal not working on Ubuntu 18.04 Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On Ubuntu 18.04 the terminal stops functioning after a few hours of work. In a fresh session the terminal works as expected, but after some time it becomes slow and finally unresponsive. After that, every time a new terminal window is launched it is greyed out and must be forcibly terminated. No keyboard input is ever shown in the terminal window. Things go back to normal if the DE session is restarted. Thank you.
