Interesting. Could you maybe post your config file to a pastebin or
something, so I can try to reproduce this?

There's definitely some fine tuning to be done here - I realised that we
had a pretty broken chunk of code for controlling the backspace/delete
bindings in previous releases, they just happened to work out right for
the majority of users. There's also a horrible bug in the python vte
bindings that I'm working around. I'll take a deeper look at this.

I agree it looks ugly to have the titlebar with only one Terminal. I
wanted to remove the ability for users to hide the titlebar, because
it's becoming so vital to things like grouping, that having to
constantly keep track of whether it's visible or not was making things
too complicated.

Good catch, editing keybindings doesn't reload them without re-opening
Terminator.

Yeah I haven't yet exposed the title colours through the preferences
window yet.

Interesting. The profile names in the list are editable, just click a
couple of times. It's good feedback though, it suggests I need to make
them more obviously editable.

You mean built-in profiles? I guess we could think of some useful sets.
I'm not sure about that though.

It's temporary, I didn't want to overwrite 0.14 configs until we can
convert them.

If it's failing to start it's probably printing a traceback, which I
definitely need to see :)

Definitely

Good catch, that should be exposed in the preferences editor.

Hrm, could you describe the exact steps to reproduce that?

Very much so, thanks very much! Fresh eyes are so good at finding all
the little oddities I've grown accustomed to.
