gnome-terminal crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke()

[Savvas Radevic]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Ubuntu hardy heron 8.04 alpha 5
I was using irssi inside screen, and wanted to change the colours of gnome-terminal
I had a custom colour design before (The installation of hardy heron was to format the root / partition and keep the /home partition intact)

Well I right-clicked and selected "edit current profile", then "colors" and clicked where it said "custom" next to built-in schemes. Then selected "green on black" and it crashed.

I could reproduce the bug once or twice by selecting custom colours, but it doesn't happen always.

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518691

this should be fixed on trunk, thanks.

Have you tested it? It actually crashes silently now (no apport report popping up).

1. Right-click in terminal -> edit current profile
2. Tab "colors"
3. Built-in scheme: custom (Text: #D8D8D8 Background: #000000)
4. Change scheme to any, i.e. Green on Black

It doesn't crash always, but after it crashes it looks like to act normally (no crash, colour scheme successfully changed)

oops, sorry! I seem to have misread the version, I use 2.22.1 as per ubuntu
hardy heron

$ gnome-terminal --version
GNOME gnome-terminal 2.22.1
$ apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus: Installed: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu6

It's not fixed on the Ubuntu package yet, it's on trunk.
