Bug Description

Terminator segfaults when you drag and drop link to file (tested only this behaviour) into terminator. First few links work, then it crashes.

1) Open new terminator

2) Go to webpage with multiple links (available to drag'n'drop to terminator)

3) Keep dragging'n'dropping until segmentation fault occurs. (7th+ link)

Note:
I have tested with typed
wget "<dropped link #1>
<dropped link #2>
<dropped link #3>
... segfault

Tested on
terminator-0.98-1.fc22.noarch

Confirmed with Firefox -> Trunk.

Three additional related issues:
1) I get a line break, plus a title on second line.
2) Cannot handle multibyte characters (no link)
3) If vi is running, get random number of "h" characters.

Hello,
This may be related to the issue: when you drag & drop any file from the file manager (tried in Mint and Arch) it also crashes.
You don't even need to actually "drop" the file, you just have to keep dragging the file from the file manager to the terminal repeatedly until it crashes.

Can confirm @marcal-sola's report. It takes exactly 11 hovers for the terminal window to crash in my case.

This seems to be OK in the gtk3 release. Can anyone reproduce with that version? If not, I'll mark this with a gtk2-only flag, and perhaps someone comes along who wants to figure it out and fix the creaky old version.

Nobody has sprung up and claimed this is not working under gtk3. I'm going to close this as Invalid, as there was no code required, just updating to gtk3.
