Description John Millikin 2008-10-18 23:18:51 UTC 
Sometimes when I close a tab, gnome-terminal crashes and brings down every running terminal. I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, but here's the error in .xsession-errors:

ERROR:terminal-tabs-menu.c:133:free_tab_id: assertion failed: (id >= 0 && id < tabs_id_array->len * 8)
Comment 1 Christian Persch 2008-10-19 12:31:15 UTC 
Should be fixed now, thanks for the report!


This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Comment 2 Joseph Pingenot 2008-10-21 19:55:37 UTC 
this is apparently also triggered when closing the 11th (or more) terminal instance: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/286823
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2008-10-21 20:10:38 UTC 
This is fixed in 2.24.1. Ubuntu added a partial/broken patch to its g-t package.
Comment 4 Joseph Pingenot 2008-10-21 20:14:33 UTC 
the current Intrepid package is 2.24.1-0ubuntu1, and it's fixed in there.
