This is not true. The old one did go somewhere: It examined the behavior
and clearly concluded that upstream gnome-terminal is NOT buggy here, it
never was. It's one of the Ubuntu patches that introduces the bug. This
conclusion was also stated in this thread here.

Could you please clarify how you expect upstream gnome-terminal to fix
this situation?

Meanwhile, this bug is almost 3 years old, and I haven't seen any
worthwile comment from any Ubuntu developer trying to track down which
of its patches, and which part within that is the culprit.

Or if you believe that upstream gnome-terminal is indeed buggy, this bug
just doesn't happen to trigger anywhere else, except with your perfect
innocent patches, then this claim should be justified with technical
arguments, something I haven't seen in this thread yet.

And I can't help to notice that this is not the only issue where Ubuntu
introduces a regression to the overall gnome-terminal user experience,
and then really doesn't care about fixing it. Bug 1770507 is another
prominent example, you guys broke something during the feature freeze
period(!) of the previous LTS, and still til this day haven't cared
about fixing.

I'm sad and disappointed to see that the software I've been co-
developing for years, putting my passion, heart, and lots and lots of
time into, is broken in multiple ways by perhaps the most popular Linux
distribution, and its developers just don't care. I don't even know what
to think about you pointing fingers at us.

Instead, maybe could you Ubuntu devs finally please, pretty please get
yourself together and fix at the very least these two bugs that YOU
introduced, in time for the just-around-the-corner LTS release? If
simply by dropping the patches that introduces the bugs, along with then
dropping whatever features those patches add, so it be. Thanks!

I firmly believe that Ubuntu should revise its bug prioritizing policy,
and handle with much-much higher priority if one of its changes
introduces a regression from mainstream. It should be something like: if
a regression is found, and not fixed within a week, the patch is
automatically dropped. Think about it...
