Description ctm 2002-10-07 17:49:50 UTC 
Package: gnome-terminal
Severity: major
Version: 2.0.1
Synopsis: Gnome-terminal crashes when resizing window
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal
Bugzilla-Component: general
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3)

Description:
Description of Problem:
Gnome-terminal crashes when I grow the window.  I've seen it happen
severl times since upgrading to Red Hat 8.0.  I suspect that each time
I've been running xemacs in the terminal when it crashes.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Red Hat 8.0
2. run xemacs -nw in a gnome-terminal
3. grow the window downward (i.e. drag from the bottom of the frame to
add extra rows)

Actual Results:
gnome-terminal dies (at least sometimes; I haven't tried to figure out
if this happens all the time)

Expected Results:
Should have worked

How often does this happen?
Often enough to be annoying.  I'm not sure if it happens each time.  I
don't grow gnome-terminals very often.  I can do some more testing after
I finish this bug report, but I can't easily test it now.

Comment 1 ctm 2002-10-07 18:08:58 UTC 
My above description of how to make it crash is missing an important
detail.  If I run xemacs locally, the crash doesn't occur.  If I ssh
into a remote machine and then run "xemacs -nw", grab the bottom of
the frame for resizing and move it up and down, gnome-terminal will
crash.  This happens with xemacs-21.4.8-14 on a machine running (null)
and with xemacs-21.4.6-7 on a RH 7.3 machine.  It even happens if I
ssh back into the machine that I'm starting from.  So, the minimum way
to make it crash that I've found so far is:

1.  Install RH 8.0
2.  run gnome-terminal (Hat->System Tools->Terminal)
3.  ssh localhost
4.  xemacs -nw
5.  Grab the bottom of the frame and start moving it up and down ...
