Mate-terminal Crash When Using Drag-n-drop Tabs

We’re using mate-terminal (1.16.3) from EPEL on CentOS 7.4 with the Mate desktop, but mate-terminal crashes when we do the following:

Start mate-terminal, open a tab (File -> Open Tab) then with the left mouse button drag a tab and drop it in the same terminal window – and the terminal window crashes …

I did a bit of Googling, and found this issue reported in earlier releases of mate-terminal – which was fixed – but no mention of issues with 1.16.x

However, if I rebuild and install the package from the mate-terminal
1.16.3 SRPM from EPEL, it doesn’t crash …

Which is rather bizarre

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and/or could explain what might be causing the issue with the binary from EPEL ?

Thanks

    The same EPEL mate-terminal install on CentOS 7.3 doesn’t have this issue – so I’m guessing it is some incompatibility between gtk3-3.14 and gtk3-3.22 ?

    For what it’s worth, I’ve reported this as a bug at:
