I thought it was quite clear: what is unclear about it? (Being unclear, and being unreproducible to you, strike me as distinct complaints.)

No other steps. The given steps reproduce the problem very reliably for me. Obviously there's a difference between my environment and yours, but as to what it might be, I couldn't guess.

Since gnome-terminal itself is actually responding to Control-Shift-T for opening new tabs, or Control-Shift-N for new windows, it seems entirely possible that the issue is really with libvte, or perhaps some issue involving both gnome-terminal and libvte. The fact that having opened a new tab or window alters the behavior, though, tells me that gnome-terminal must have at least something to do with it.

I've attached my profile settings, in case they are part of why I'm able to reproduce the problem. I'll try blowing it away, meanwhile, to see if that stops the issue.

Since I'm at my laptop, I now have the gnome-terminal version available: 2.22.1-0ubuntu2
libvte9 is 1:0.16.13-1ubuntu1.
