1) The release of Ubuntu you are using: Ubuntu 17.10
2) The version of the package you are using: 3.24.2-0ubuntu4
3) What you expected to happen: When opening a terminal window with a long working directory path containing Unicode characters (such as “/home/test/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/ä/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789” in a 80×24 window), gnome-terminal opens normally.
4) What happened instead: gnome-terminal closes immediately, both when opened using
gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/test/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/ä/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789/01234567890123456789
and when changing to this directory using “cd”. There is no output on stderr or anywhere else, the window just closes.
This makes it impossible to use gnome-terminal for many directories with long paths. This did NOT happen in Ubuntu 16.04.
