Bug#909328: gnome-terminal: Crashes when using 'set lines=999' in Vim editor

[Leon van Velzen]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.30.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Used common option 'set lines=999' and 'set columns=999' in the Vim editor as a
trick to make the terminal full screen. This worked in other terminals but I
noticed it made all instances of gnome terminal crash.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

A crash of all terminal instances, not just the one running Vim.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

That the terminals stayed alive, Vim kept running and the terminal would resize
to the full size of the screen.



Thanks for all the software, it's a joy to use Gnome.
