[terminal] ERROR Couldn't resize terminal -1, because it doesn't exist. when opening a new terminal

This is a minor issue.

Steps to reproduce.

• reset the workbench layout.
• open a terminal.

For each new terminal, you'll get a root ERROR Couldn't resize terminal -1, because it doesn't exist. error on the backend.

I have a potentially related issue. Terminals work fine when I first open them. But after I drag the tab to a new position with a new size, most often the tab goes completely blank and responds to no output. Checking the process list, shows the bash command (and any subcommands) are still running.

I have seen the same yesterday. Somehow happens when the terminal is splitted to the right. I can even move it left and then it reappears.

I am also experiencing this problem. The initial terminal window is not open when first running the image and I encounter this error message when trying to open a new terminal. This creates an endless cycle of trying to open a new terminal that always fails to initialize.

There should be some kind of fail-safe option hard-coded in that kills the terminal when an error occurs and spawns a new terminal session. Otherwise end-users are stuck with no means to interact or restart the IDE except via the menu options.

On a related note, should there be some kind of "Restart IDE" menu option? RStudio Server provides a similar capability so that no matter how messed up a user's workspace becomes, they can always restart.
