Sorry for not providing all details: This happens after a while, when you have had your terminal open for a long time and repeatedly dropped considerable amount of text on the terminal. I haven't kept drop-count or chars-count, so I don't know if this happens after certain count or just randomly. This happens perhaps every 2-3 days after full days of working with Codex CLI. This never happens quickly after opening the terminal after a chrash.
I do open and close the `codex` application frequently, within the same terminal and then drop text onto it. The terminal application has no plugins or any such thing. I'm running virtualenvwrapper (Python virtual env) and then codex. I usually have 4-10 terminals running, some sharing windows, others in their own window. When the crash occurs, all the terminals disappear instantly - so this is not a window-bug - this is a "hard core" terminal bug. I have used terminal on the same machine for 3 years now, and frequently used right-click copy/paste without this ever happening. It is only when I started using drop-paste that this started happening. My quess is that this is some kind of buffer overrun that is special to the drop feature. That would cause a random crash. My advice to you: Run AI Agent (Codex or Claude Code) in high-reasoning mode, against the terminal source code, with all this knowledge, and ask it find the crash cause. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2130742 Title: Terminal chrases when drag/dropping text on it while running ChatGPT Codex (paste doesn't work in it) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/2130742/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
