This also happens in the address bar of Chrome. Great fun.
No crash for me. Google must have patched it.

#12What an interesting bug.
Just tried in Mobile Safari and Noted in iOS 6.1, no problems there.

#13I wish they'd just fix the bug where typing "~" crashes Terminal.app (depending on your keyboard language) :(
Have you tried iTerm?
You mean iTerm or iTerm2 http://www.iterm2.com ?

> I wish they'd just fix the bug where typing "~" crashes Terminal.app (depending on your keyboard language) :( How did this bug survive the testing process? Wait. I think I just answered my own question.
It's quite terrible. I even reported it on bugreport.apple.com on 10.8.0, but neither 10.8.1 nor 10.8.2 fixed it.
I can't believe there's no-one at Apple using i18n keyboard layouts and Terminal.app.
It's not like typing "~" is an uncommon event on the command line....
Meanwhile, VLC fixed the same bug (typing ~ in the VLC.app UI textfields) in about 30 minutes.
