Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

When I press CTRL-C in gnome-terminal, it isn't sent through to the shell. I *do* have CTRL-C setup as a keyboard shortcut for copy. However, in previous versions of gnome-terminal, this only caught the event when text was highlighted in the terminal window, allowing CTRL-C to be used for both copy and to interrupt a program.

Expected behaviour:

1) Change the default keyboard shortcut for copy (Shift+Ctrl+V) to Ctrl+C
2a) When text is highlighted, Ctrl+C should run the keyboard shortcut for copy
2b) When no text is highlighted, Ctrl+C should be passed to the shell

This is the previous behaviour in gnome-terminal prior to upgrading to jaunty.

I confirm this too.
Ctrl+C doesn't stop the process. I'm using Ctrl+Alt+C instead.
But it worked in previous versions (Intrepid, Gutsy, Feisty).

Ctrl+C doesn't work anymore. Have to use Ctrl+Alt+C instead of.

It worked in 8.10 fine.
