Bug#1052172: gnome-terminal: crash during scroll-up

[Patrice Duroux]

Before proceeding with your request (I will have to be back home after
work), here is at least the environment used to reproduce the issue:
a Debian Sid/amd64 system, a GNOME wayland session and a GNOME terminal.
I am using fish as a login shell and so it is the default opening a
tab in the GNOME terminal.
fish like other tools are using fancy tty abilities (nice prompt, colors etc).
Once there are some contents in the terminal, it may then crash by
just scrolling up but also resizing the windows which I was new to me
yesterday
and got also many times rendering the terminal very unstable. That was
one of the reasons to not be able to use the coredumpctl output by
copy-paste
to give you the information without upgrading vte packages again to
their last version.
Not thinking that it will then change the coredumpctl output, stupid me!
