Subject: Upgrading gnome-terminal kills existing terminals
Message-ID: <178702517815.973353.6328588140307493164.reportbug@o>

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.60.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: josh@joshtriplett.org

With previous versions of gnome-terminal, upgrading would take effect on
a subsequent run of gnome-terminal, but would not interrupt existing
terminals. However, with the new version of gnome-terminal, upgrading
kills all open gnome-terminal sessions; it appears that it restarts the
systemd user unit.

Please consider changing this to stop killing running terminals, which
may have valuable data or context in them.
