Correct me please if I'm wrong, but it looks to me that you have studied the relevant source code and even located the problem in one of the ibus related package.
So I'm wondering, shouldn't you have filed this bug against that component, rather than gnome-terminal? Is there anything gnome-terminal's developers could and should do to fix this crash? As far as I understand you, it doesn't look the case to me. Could you please re-assign this bug to the software package where the bug actually is and whose developers thus have a chance of fixing it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051381 Title: gnome-terminal-server crashed with SIGSEGV in g_utf8_pointer_to_offset() Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I'm using ibus-keyman with the IPA (SIL) keyboard in gnome- terminal and type n> (or just backspace after the n), gnome-terminal crashes. The reason is that in text_input_delete_surrounding_text() (modules/input/imwayland.c:253) before_length doesn't get checked. If we don't have surrounding text (as in this case) cursor_pointer is NULL and thus (cursor_pointer - before_length) results in an invalid pointer. The other question is why we don't have surrounding text, but that's a different problem. In any case we shouldn't crash in text_input_delete_surrounding_text(). I believe this is a different bug from #2036647 because of the different callstack and that we shouldn't call g_utf8_pointer_to_offset with invalid pointers.
