Bug Description
I run terminator version 1.91 from the most recent version of Fedora with all software updated.
I have noticed before that terminator on some occasions copies the input on one terminal to all other terminals. That way I accidentally enter the same vi-commands in one source as I do in some other source. In this case I had 2 terminators running, one with a split window. The split window terminator had 2 source files open in vi, one for each split. The the second terminator was unsplit and was where I was compiling and testing my program.
While testing the program that runs Cursive (a rust version using ncurses) the input I put into the dialog appeared in both my vi session on the other terminator terminal. After issueing a request with Cursive, I entered some git-commands which also appeared in my vi sessions. Finally I quit vi without saving in one file, which also terminated the other file! Then I did `exit` on one of the splits and all terminators were closed.
Apparantly, under some circomstances, terminator echo's all command to all terminator instances.
P.S. Terminator didn't just copy terminal commands, but also dialog input from my ncurses/Cursive program.
The problem is that it does not happen consistently. So I am hoping, that I am not the only one having this problem.
Before I was certain that this was a terminator bug, I created an issue in github for Cursive which you can find under https:/ /github. com/gyscos/ Cursive/ issues/ 334. It also contains 2 screenprints that show the problem.
