Hello again, some updates on this issue. I have been trying to upload a report with apport when a terminal window is greyed out. However, apport is also unresponsive when this happens, I use the Alt+F2 command prompt, it takes about 20 seconds to display the keyboard input (about one character per second) and never reacts to the Enter input.
A more important point: I noticed that a process named "orca" was using 100% CPU when the terminal becomes unresponsive. I managed to end the process in the System Monitor, and immediately the terminal started functioning correctly again. Since the command prompt is also not functional during these events, I am unable to upload a report on orca. Thank you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788364 Title: Terminal not working on Ubuntu 18.04 Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On Ubuntu 18.04 the terminal stops functioning after a few hours of work. In a fresh session the terminal works as expected, but after some time it becomes slow and finally unresponsive. After that, every time a new terminal window is launched it is greyed out and must be forcibly terminated. No keyboard input is ever shown in the terminal window. Things go back to normal if the DE session is restarted. Thank you.
