Title:
  [Patch] CRASH when dragging a tab and later changing its title

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Gnome-terminal can crash if a tab is dragged across windows, and later
  the title of the tab is changed.

  Since gnome-terminal is one single process for all your terminal
  windows and tabs, upon a crash all the gnome-terminal windows
  disappear, easily causing loss of precious unsaved work.

  To easily reproduce:

  1. Open at 2 (or more) gnome-terminal windows, and in one of them 2
  (or more) tabs.

  2. In one of these tabs, make the title change constantly:
  while sleep 0.1; do echo -ne "\e]0;$(date +%S)\a"; done

  3. Drag and drop this tab (with the changing title) to another gnome-
  terminal window. (Don't drag it within the same window, that won't
  make it crash.) Repeat this step multiple times.

  After a few (usually less than 10) drag-n-drop actions, gnome-terminal
  crashes.

  Please backport this fix from mainstream:
