Ctrl-C doesn't work in built-in terminal

[Alexey Kotlyarov]

Binary package hint: geany

In the built-in terminal window, Ctrl-C doesn't send the signal to the running process, but clears the screen.

How to reproduce:
Open Geany, open built-in terminal.
Start a long-running command, for example, "ping ubuntu.com".
Press Ctrl-C.

Expected results:
ping stops, the shell prompt is displayed.

Actual results:
The terminal screen is cleared, ping messages continue from the top.

I also find this issue, in ubuntu9.10 i386

There is a setting for this: Edit -> Preferences -> Terminal -> Override Geany keybindings.

The question is whether or not it should be set as default.

The current behavior is broken anyway: Ctrl-C is "Copy" in Geany itself, but it clears the screen. I'd say at least this key is much more useful as "interrupt".
