Since GNOME Terminal handles all of its terminals in a single process, a crash causes all its terminals to disappear, making the consequences even worse. Mainstream bugreport with technical details and steps to reproduce: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795826 Fix (for vte-0.52.x): https://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?h=vte-0-52&id=5966e8bfb Bionic ships 0.52.1. Mainstream 0.52.2 has been released with this code change only (apart from the version as reported by VTE itself), so instead of patching you could probably just simply bump the version number. Older Ubuntu release are unaffected, since they didn't yet have support for explicit hyperlinks. Jeremy & others, could you please release a fixed package as an update for Bionic LTS? Thanks a lot! [ QA ] Under the GNOME micro release exception, you can believe this bug is fixed.
