I'm using up to date packages and it occurs to me as well.

[Israel (isra1998isra)]

Same here

[Tom von Schwerdtner (tvon)]

FWIW: After package update a few minutes ago and a reboot, launched Terminal and (while I didn't notice the crash) the bug reporter popped up after Terminal launched.

[Murat Ursavas (murat-ursavas)]

Happened here on my up to date Freya Beta 2.

[Dorzhi T (dorzhi-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Crashed for like no reason. Chromium and Zim desktop Wiki were active only. System is up-to-date.
