Bug#962501: gnome-terminal: Closing a terminal window at a root promt will crash the Gnome session.

[Luke Mezera]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.30.2-2
Severity: normal

Closing a terminal window at a root prompt will crash the Gnome session.
   * What led up to the situation?
     Open a Gnome-Terminal window
     sudo su -
     close window
     Click "Close Terminal" on the "Close this terminal?" dialog box


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     If you remember to exit to your user prompt it will not crash.


   * What was the outcome of this action?
     I think it crashes the gnome-session.

     On wayland it will crash everything and locks up the computer.
     You can't even cntl+alt+fn key to another console

     On X it seems to restart the session. The screen freezes for
     a couple of seconds and comeback.
