Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.30.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
when gnome-terminal is started in a Wayland session, when the terminal
looses focus the blinking cursor disappears and it remains invisible
forever. The only way to make it re-appear is to switch to another tab
and back.
The bug applies to lxterminal as well. Starting lxterminal with
GDK_BACKEND=x11 or starting gnome in X11 makes the bug disappear.
Notes:
1. I noticed the bug last Friday when gnome-terminal was 3.28.2-1. I
waited for the 3.30.xx version, but the bug is still here
2. The bug was not there before upgrading gnome-shell, mutter and
related libs to 3.29/3.30. Therefore I suspect that the bug is due to
one of them.
