Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.22.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

        I have folders with greek characters. I can change directory to any of
them without problem.
        Inside one of these folders i create a directory with english
characters using gnome nautilus, e.g. LLC (3350)
        I open a terminal and try to change directory to the new folder, after
i type the command: cd LLC (3350) and hit enter terminal closes without notice.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

        I renamed the directory and removed the parenthesis and change
directory worked but this is not a solution

   * What was the outcome of this action?

        Crash

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

        Enter the directory containing the parenthesis in its name and continue
my work
