Terminator

Terminator window disappears on first opening

Asked by Paul Brook

I am running Terminator 0.98 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.

I have been using Terminator for a year or two and I really like it except for one bug I'm having:

When I open the Terminator terminal for the first time after booting my machine, as soon as I alt-tab away from it (or just click away), it disappears. I try to come back to it and it has gone, and any work I was doing has gone with it. I often have to recover the file etc..

Once this has happened the first time, then I reopen and everything will be fine for the rest of the session.

Thank you for responding.

Hide on lose focus is indeed unchecked :)

I'll give the newer stuff a shot, thank you!

Hi Paul, I'm the maintainer. The wax miguel account looks kinda spammy

One possibility is that you accidentally activated "Hide on lose focus"
in the Global tab of the Preferences dialog. Check it and disable it if
it is checked.

In case this is not the answer, 0.98 is pretty old now and I'm not doing
any further changes. I'd strongly recommend you try the nightly PPA as
it is much more up-to-date.
