Package: gnome-terminal
Severity: critical
Version: 2.0.1
Synopsis: Resizing causes all gnome-terminal windows to crash
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal
Bugzilla-Component: general
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3)

Description:
Description of Problem:

Attempted to resize a gnome-terminal window, and all gnome-terminal
windows crashed.
The window being resized had a bash shell running ssh, which logged in
to a remote
Linux machine and started a bash shell there. The remote shell was
running vim when
the resizing crashed.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. ssh to remote machine
2. run vim on a file with more lines than the terminal window
3. resize the terminal window

Actual Results:
A dialog box appears, stating that gnome-terminal has crashed,
asking if I want to submit a bug report.

Expected Results:
Window is resized, vim adjusts number of lines it displays.

How often does this happen?
About once every month or two.

Additional Information:
Running locally on a pretty vanilla RedHat 8 installation.
