Public bug reported: When dragging a file from Nautilus to another window (either another Nautilus window or a GNOME Terminal window), and you hold down the alt key while dropping, Mutter closes the connection to the target application (which GDK handles by calling `_exit(1)` unconditionally).
When the target application is a GNOME Terminal window, the entire GNOME Terminal Server exits, so all terminal windows close. This is likely to lead to data loss (I have personally experienced having many very important terminal windows with neovim just close because I dared to drag and drop a file into another terminal window instead of typing out the path). I made an issue upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1789, but I thought it should be in Launchpad as well.
