Micah Cowan (micahcowan) wrote : Closing tab results in not accepting input

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.
