Bug#748469: gnome-terminal: random crash when searching for some terminal font

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.12.0-2
Severity: important

To reproduce the bug: Edit Profile Preferences, then click on the
font name to make the "Choose A Terminal Font" dialog appear. Then
select some font, and try to search for some other font with the
keyboard. Sometimes this makes the terminal crash (all the windows
disappear). I could make it crash 4 times in 15 minutes.

Unfortunately gnome-terminal doesn't leave a core dump, and as it
seems to fork, it is impossible to get gdb or strace information.
