Description
(gnome-terminal:14044): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input
This makes copying large blocks of text with scattered invalid bytes very difficult.
vte should either strip invalid character sequences, or replace them with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
I prefer the latter; this is easy to do by walking the string, copying valid segments and appending utf8(U+FFFD) for invalid bytes.
Patch to follow.
