This crash happened a few days ago, but I just now had another crash also while scrolling a terminator pane with lots of scrollback. Unfortunately no .crash file was produced with this second case but .xsession-errors shows the same traceback.

I suspect this is the same as this upstream bug:

This is the upstream patch from the aforementioned bug report.

(I've not tested this yet.)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
