Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Steps to reproduce (some steps may not be necessary; I'm not on my home machine right now so can't eliminate the unnecessary steps):
1. Open gnome-terminal
2. Type some stuff (may not be necessary)
3. Open a new tab via Control-Shift-T
4. Type some stuff (may not be necessary)
5. Close the tab (I usually do this via Control-D in the shell)
Resulting Behavior: Keys typed in the original tab are no longer processed (they are, however, queued up: see the Workarounds).
Expected Behavior: Keys typed in the original tab should be processed as normal, appearing and taking effect in the terminal.
Workarounds:
- Opening a new tab again will cause all the keys that had been typed in the original tab to be processed immediately. Closing that tab again results in the same buggy behavior.
- Opening a new _window_, via Control-Shift-N, will cause all the keys to be processed immediately, and closing the new window does _not_ result in the original terminal window locking up again.
Apologies for not specifying the gnome-terminal package version; I'm away from the affected system at this moment. However, I am running Hardy Heron (8.04), and my packages were up-to-date as of last night. |
