Bug Description

After switching from Xorg to Wayland on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22 I have found that when I use the right-click menu to open Terminal from the desktop that a window looking like this shows up on the screen for about a second or less:

And then when it closes all the other Terminal sessions go with it instantly killing anything I've got running from any of the gnome-terminal windows which is really quite annoying and luckily I didn't have anything vital running from one at the time. But this could seriously cause something quite bad for another unsuspecting person.
