Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Gnome terminal just crashed as a build finished. I don't believe I was doing anything particularly strange or different, hopefully the backtrace contains useful information.

EDIT: What I _was_ doing is selecting text, which I habitually do while reading text from a terminal. It seems that this bug is triggered by me selecting text with the mouse - not every time, but the trigger for the crash will be some text-selection.

This doesn't seem to be the same problem as bug 196311 or bug 195325, as the backtrace looks different and I wasn't changing colour schemes/profiles.
