I'm not against fixing it at all, but ... if you take a look around either here among launchpad bugs (both gnome-terminal and vte/vte3) or mainstream bugzilla and git, you'll find quite a few way more important issues, including crash scenarios with known fixes - yet there's no activity and willingness from anyone backporting them to Trusty or Utopic. It's really strange to see discussing the possibility of releasing a fix for one of the least important bugs while ignoring the others. I mean, there's a checkbox that doesn't do anything, and you're worried about this but not the segfaults? C'mon... As long as there are unfixed crashes, putting any amount of work in backporting the removal of a nonfunctional checkbox is IMO precious engineering time not well spent, and yet another update is probably more annoying to the users than useful.
