[CentOS] mate-terminal crash when using drag-n-drop tabs

We're using mate-terminal (1.16.3) from EPEL on CentOS 7.4 with the Mate desktop, but mate-terminal crashes when we do the following:

Start mate-terminal, open a tab (File -> Open Tab) then with the left mouse button drag a tab and drop it in the same terminal window - and the terminal window crashes ...

I did a bit of Googling, and found this issue reported in earlier releases of mate-terminal - which was fixed - but no mention of issues with 1.16.x

However, if I rebuild and install the package from the mate-terminal 1.16.3 SRPM from EPEL, it doesn't crash ...

Which is rather bizarre

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and/or could explain what might be causing the issue with the binary from EPEL ?

Thanks
