Sometimes it doesn't crash at once and I have to repeat steps 3 through 6 a few times.

Install xsel 1. Open gnome-terminal 2. Run 'seq 150000 | fmt' to produce a lot of scrollback 3. Tripple-click on the last line of output 4. press Shift-Home to scroll to top 5. Shift-click on the first line of output 6. Run 'xsel > /tmp/PLEASEDONTCRASH' Expected result: no crash Actual result: all gnome-terminal windows disappear, and this appears in ~/.xsession-errors: (gnome-terminal:29462): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 17484 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
