"I was using irssi inside screen, and wanted to change the colours of gnome-terminal
I had a custom colour design before (The installation of hardy heron was to format the root / partition and keep the /home partition intact)

Well I right-clicked and selected "edit current profile", then "colors" and clicked where it said "custom" next to built-in schemes. Then selected "green on black" and it crashed.

I could reproduce the bug once or twice by selecting custom colours, but it doesn't happen always"

Comment 1 Christian Persch 2008-05-29 21:40:50 UTC

This should be fixed in svn trunk.

Comment 2 Savvas Radević 2008-05-30 23:23:26 UTC

It actually crashes silently now (no apport report popping up).

1. Right-click in terminal -> edit current profile
2. Tab "colors"
3. Built-in scheme: custom (Text: #D8D8D8 Background: #000000)
4. Change scheme to any, i.e. Green on Black

It doesn't crash always, but after it crashes it looks like to act normally (no crash, colour scheme successfully changed)

$ gnome-terminal --version
GNOME gnome-terminal 2.22.1
$ apt-cache policy nautilus
