community/lxterminal 0.3.1-2

When multiple tabs are open on lxterminal and the x used on the tab to close tab the whole terminal with all tabs shuts down. In some occasions other lxterminal windows also shut down. No error messages are produced when run from another terminal.

This change in behavior came with the recent upgrades of vte3 (0.54)
When reverting to earlier (0.52) vte3 the problem goes away.
This task depends upon

Please report this problem to upstream:
https://sourceforge.net/p/lxde/bugs/search/?q=labels:lxterminal

With a proper trace:

You can also report it to GitHub https://github.com/lxde/lxterminal/issues if you prefer GitHub over SourceForge.

It is not an upstream issue as it only exists in arch. Debian and Void with same lxterminal does not have this behavior.
I am pretty sure that vte3 is causing it, both issues of 0.54 cause it. The last vte3 0.52 cures the problem.

I thought when a bug causes software to terminate unexpectedly the severity is medium

You say it's not an upstream issue, then say that it's caused by an UPSTREAM update for vte3. Which is it?

Looks like an UPSTREAM change in VTE [1] renders tab-closing logic in lxterminal broken. This should be fixed in lxterminal IMO, and I've reported this to https://github.com/lxde/lxterminal/issues/61.

Not related to Arch Linux packaging, anyway.
