GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 317273
gnome-terminal crash upon resizing full-screen text formatting programs (less, pine)
Last modified: 2005-09-26 20:33:19 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Open gnome-terminal 2. SSH to another Linux machine 3. Shrink the terminal window width (to create wrapped lines later) 4. View an arbitrary text file using "less", where you see wrapped lines 5. Resize the terminal window to expand the wrapped lines, then it crashes Stack trace:
+ Trace 63205
Other information: Always easy to repeat the crash if you ssh to another machine. It's harder to repeat but possible to repeat it when you don't ssh to another machine and use "less" locally. Using "pine" also crashes it, but "vi" does not.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. Your gnome-terminal and vte are so old that 'ancient' would be a compliment. Please upgrade to something recent, like GNOME 2.12. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 94509 ***
