I am suffering from this bug for years, and it is still not fixed in Ubuntu 17.04. It is very annoying because sometimes I accidentally drag the tab and all programs in terminal get killed!

Usually occurs by accident, to be honest (when I don't mean to drag the tab at all, for instance) but it's 100% reproducible intentionally. I found several old bug reports on similar issues, but they were either not detailed enough to figure out if they were exactly the same or were closed as duplicates of a bug that no longer exists (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- terminal/+bug/1442826). Apport generated a report (title: gnome-terminal-server crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()) for me and then helpfully explained that the bug had already been filed. It redirected me to a bug that doesn't exist (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595907) though, so I'm refiling it here. 1.

Expected behavior: Tab should split into a new window (as it does if you drop it onto someplace that's not a gnome-terminal window). At the worst, it should go back to where it was on the tab bar instead of crashing. 4. Actual behavior: The whole gnome-terminal window crashes, losing any activity or work on other tabs. Other open gnome-terminal windows also crash and close.
