Unfortunately ctrl-x-a also reproduces that crash for me - https://paste.sr.ht/~jamii/a1cd701eae0c2416eb9750d7c559e4b3b...

This was https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25348, fixed in June. I believe the fix is in the latest release.
If you can reproduce the crash, it's an ideal candidate to record with rr and try to debug :)
Oh I believe it crashes, but I’d speculate wildly this perhaps indicates some bad combo of gnu with other tools, or a missing lib, or a side effect of system customization, or a beta distro, or something like that maybe? Are you sure it’s an issue with gdb? I’ve used gdb a bunch, mostly on lots of Ubuntu machines, I haven’t seen tui crashing like that myself.

Oh, I'm sure it is. Debugging it would probably be good practice. I'll just open my working debugger...
