Allocating size to GtkScrollbar problem with gnome-terminal

I am running into an issue with gnome-terminal. Every so often, can be as little as a min or two between events. I get the following in the log, and the terminal freezes up.

Feb 25 11:03:38 arch gnome-terminal-[10122]: Allocating size to GtkScrollbar 0x55d5e72902f0 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?
Feb 25 11:13:06 arch dbus-daemon[727]: [session uid=1000 pid=727] Activating via systemd: service name='org.gnome.Terminal' unit='gnome-terminal-server.service' requested by ':1.220' (uid=1000 pid=11641 comm="g>
Feb 25 11:13:06 arch systemd[706]: Starting GNOME Terminal Server...
Feb 25 11:13:06 arch dbus-daemon[727]: [session uid=1000 pid=727] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.Terminal'

I did some searching and found this. So I guess its going to be a matter of waiting for a fix. Would running a non GTK terminal be the fix for now, or does anyone know of a work around?

Re: Allocating size to GtkScrollbar problem with gnome-terminal

I seem to have fixed the issue or at least worked around it by setting a small scrollback buffer.
