Description tedman 2003-07-17 23:58:54 UTC

Package: gnome-terminal
Severity: normal
Version: 2.0.1
Synopsis: gnome-terminal crashes often when resizing
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal
Bugzilla-Component: general
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3)

Description:
Description of Problem: quite often when I try to resize the
gnome-terminal window it crashes.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. I ussually have about 4 gnome terminals open
2. I'm ussually using pine or mutt in 2 of them , sometimes running pico
as the subprocess
3. I resize one of the windows, then I get the message "Application
"gnome-termina" (process xxx) has crashed due to fatal eror. (Aborted)

maybe I should also add that I am using multiple display support - i.e.
I have 2 monitors on this computer on 1 video card. actaully it's a
laptop displaying to both the built in and external monitor at the same
time. i.e. extended desktop not displaying the same things.

Actual Results:
all windows crash and process dies

Expected Results:
for it to resize properly

How often does this happen?
almost every other time I try it.
