This doesn't sound like a bug in gnome-terminal - it is the SSH process that is "hung" (since it can no longer reach the server after the VPN has been disconnected). You should try closing the connection by using the SSH escape character, tilde, followed by a period i.e. after the VPN is disconnected, hit the following three keys: Return, ~, .
This will disconnect your SSH connection and should return you to the terminal. -- failure of ssh-over-VPN connection hangs terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
