Public bug reported:
2025-11-05T17:24:35.898107 gnome-shell[10677]: WL: error in client
communication (pid 1890715)
2025-11-05T17:24:35.898412 gnome-terminal-[1890715]: Error reading events from
display: Invalid argument
2025-11-05T17:24:35.913941 systemd[10222]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Main
process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
2025-11-05T17:24:35.914079 systemd[10222]: gnome-terminal-server.service:
Failed with result 'exit-code'.
```
**The cause:** A Wayland display communication error. The terminal lost
its connection to the display server and couldn't read events, causing
it to crash with exit code 1.
**Recovery:** About 7 seconds later (at 17:24:42), the terminal was restarted:
```

'org.gnome.Terminal'
2025-11-05T17:24:42.540120 systemd[10222]: Started gnome-terminal-server.service
This happens when you have dragged/drop a lot of text into it. The crash
can be re-generated.
