I'm starting to wonder whether it's really https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2577, or perhaps the change done there covers up this bug (prevents a crash) but might still result in slightly incorrect behavior (e.g. not recognizing whatever needs to be recognized as being under the mouse), since the root cause is probably not yet fixed.
I've filed https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2637 for this very issue. Mark, the 4 terminal setup is most likely irrelevant; however, can you please describe what you did immediately before the crash? E.g. scrolled in the window (with mouse wheel or touchpad?), or maximized/unmaximized/resized the window, or clicked, or moved the mouse, or typed, etc.? Also, does this crash still occur to you? How often? We can't reproduce the crash, your input might help locate the bug. Thanks! ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues #2637 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2637 -- 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/2011727 Title: Seemingly random crashes of all terminal windows Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Typically this happens when I have 4 windows open. This seems to be a new issue for me, dating back perhaps a couple of weeks. I've used this particular 4 terminal setup for years without issues. When the issue occurs, all terminal windows vanish instantly, and I need to restart all of them. Other applications seem unaffected.
