Random crash with Tilix 1.8.9 on Ubuntu 16.04

[PD-Extron]

I just upgraded to Tilix 1.8.9 (via webupd8) on Ubuntu 16.04 and I am experiencing random crashes. Thw Tilix windows just disappear. They always seem to crash with an abort exception. Any ideas?

Also, how can I go back to the previous Tilix version which was very stable on 16.04?

tilix --version output:

I don't use Ubuntu myself but presumably you can install the previous version of the package.

I've had this happen 3 times now, and all of them extremely at an incoinvinient time. This is a total show-stopper, the terminal is something that just have to be stable. Crashing with vital processes running is bad :(

The crashes I was experiencing as all when pressing SHIFT+CTRL+x to resize window.

Im on Linux Mint 19 (based on Ubuntu 18.04)

@gnunn1 Are you saying the previous build is more stable?

I also get random crashes and lose all open terminals on 1.8.9, Ubuntu 19.04. I don't know if these are related on ~/.xsession-errors:

(tilix:6828): dbind-WARNING **: 01:08:43.838: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Vte:ERROR:../../src/vteaccess.cc:625:void vte_terminal_accessible_text_scrolled(VteTerminal*, gint, gpointer): assertion failed: (i >= 1)

That looks like a crash in VTE rather then tilix and it may indeed have something to do with accessibility., I assume the DBUS service is working fine? On Arch I can check it with:

systemctl status dbus.service

Can you try closing all instances of Tilix and starting it from a different terminal at a command prompt using the following command:

export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 tilix

Do the accessibility errors go away and any issues with crashes?

[admirabilis]

dbus.service seems have been working fine (same uptime as the system).

Running Tilix with NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 has stopped the dbind warnings, but I'll need more time to report if it helps with the crashes, because they are very unpredictable. I'm running this instance for ~20 hours, but It could take days for a crash to happen.

[admirabilis]

After a few days testing, Tilix has crashed again:

$ env NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 tilix --quake * Vte:ERROR:../../src/vteaccess.cc:625:void vte_terminal_accessible_text_scrolled(VteTerminal, gint, gpointer): assertion failed: (i >= 1) fish: “env NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 tilix --quake” terminated by signal SIGABRT (Aborted)

[gnunn1]

Can you also try disabling the overlay scrollbars in Preferences | Appearance and restart all instances of Tilix, just trying to narrow it down.

[admirabilis]

I honestly can't find that option, perhaps due to the translation. But I don't use scrollbars, here are my current settings:

here similar randomly window disappearing on Debian 10 (buster). actually running commands are fine, but just the window is go away (disappear)...
