Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
This always happens after using a terminal for a day or so. The behavior, to me, looks like consistent with a some kind of a memory leak. All the click-able stuff still responds but resetting the terminal has no effect. The only workaround is to close the terminal and start a new one. The problem seems to be related to the level of activity in the terminal - when I open several of them at the same time, it is always the one being used the most that craps out.
Any ideas? Is there anything I can do to help with this issue?
Thanks,
Edward

I am seeing the same problem recently (after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04).
I have reported the issue in the GNOME bugtracker at: https:/ /bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 730643
