Bug Description

Crashed while scrolling a terminator pane with a lot of scrollback

This crash happened a few days ago, but I just now had another crash also while scrolling a terminator pane with lots of scrollback. Unfortunately no .crash file was produced with this second case but .xsession-errors shows the same traceback.

I suspect this is the same as this upstream bug:
