Bug#788177: gnome-terminal: terminal stalls in cinnamon

[Mark Hedges]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.14.1-1
Severity: normal

When run in Cinnamon in Debian 8, the terminal will stall after a while.
If the terminal is running an idle SSH connection, the connection will
become unusable.  If the terminal is running some process, the output
of the process will end but it will not return to a bash prompt until
bashing the keyboard.  (Is that why they call it bash?)

This does not happen when running in Gnome3, to the best of my recollection,
but there were so many other errors in Gnome3 that I gave up.
