Description Christian Persch 2020-05-10 10:10:32 UTC
Description of problem:

Crash, due to fedora patch. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0:3.36.1.1-1.fc32

How reproducible:
Unknown.

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

Actual results:
Crash.

Expected results:
No crash.

Additional info:

https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/2911213/ shows the backtrac; the offending functioncall is only present in the fedora patch, not upstream. 

Cause of the creash is terminal_screen_format_title calling g_utf8_substr with an out-of-bounds end position. The g_utf8_substr docs make it clear that end offset (in characters!) must be *within* the passed string.
