Using “unset PROMPT_COMMAND” had no effect at all (and seems to be empty
for me, anyway?). This is pretty much a fresh install, so I’m using
Ubuntu’s default value of PS1:
$ echo "'$PS1'"
'\[\e]0;\u@\h:
\w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$
'
However, when I change that to
PS1='\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
there seems to be no more crashing. So it seems that certain values of
PS1 do indeed trigger this bug.
I have also tried the bash development version, as suggested. Even with
the default value of PS1, I haven’t been able to cause a crash there.
However, this version goes REALLY crazy with the input prompt (junk
characters, erratically printing parts of the history or working
directory path to the terminal when pressing the arrow keys, invisible
text input etc.) for long working directory paths (with or without
Unicode characters), making input all but impossible. So whatever the
difference between the two versions is, it’s not an improvement.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help so far. Since I’m not seeing the crash in the
newer version, I’m assuming it will be gone when Ubuntu updates (with the weird
behavior for long paths hopefully due to different compiler flags or something
like that). As a workaround, modifying PS1 seems to work.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1745273] Re: Cannot open terminal with long working directory name containing Unicode characters
Hi, The bash bug I linked indeed seems to be a different one; however, it might give some clues about what might going on. E.g. your locale, PS1, PROMPT_COMMAND etc. _might_ be relevant. (I cannot reproduce your problem, although I can see the prompt incorrectly showing parts of color changing escape sequences. I have a custom PS1, though. Allegedly work-in-progress bash-4.5 is going to contain yet another bunch of related fixes.) Could you try for example to “unset PROMPT_COMMAND” at the last line of your .bashrc, or change to a much simpler PS1, does it still crash then? Could you please try with bash development version? git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/bash.git cd bash git checkout devel ./configure make DEBUG= MALLOC_DEBUG= ./bash If this one is still buggy, it would the best if you could raise this issue with upstream bash maintainers. There's a "bashbug" tool that collects the information required by developers. (Since I don't have cmdline email sending set up, I just see which file it opens for me to edit, open the same file in gedit and copy-paste to my favorite email client (this way long lines don't get chopped).) If the devel version is okay then Ubuntu will also be fixed whenever bash-4.5 is released and then Ubuntu upgrades to that, which might still take quite a while. I'm sorry but I won't be able to help backporting the fix to Ubuntu, I'm not an Ubuntu developer, just lurking around here keeping an eye on gnome-terminal :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bash in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745273 Title: Cannot open terminal with long working directory name containing Unicode characters Status in bash package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using: Ubuntu 17.10 2) The version of the package you are using: gnome-terminal version 3.24.2-0ubuntu4; bash version 4.4-5ubuntu1 3) What you expected to happen: When opening a terminal window with a long working directory path containing Unicode characters (such as “/home/test/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/ä/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789” in a 80×24 window), gnome-terminal opens normally. 4) What happened instead: gnome-terminal closes immediately, both when opened using gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/test/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/ä/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789 and when changing to this directory using “cd”.
