Bug Description
Write a quick program that just print characters to the terminal constantly. Run it, and try to stop with Ctrl+C. It doesn't ever stop for me. It's possible that the strings you print need to be very long, so if it works for you, try strings of megabyte length.

I have the same issue. Most scripts/programs that are printing characters to the terminal can't be stopped with Ctrl+C. Even when no text is highlighted (because then it would be coping text to the clipboard rather than aborting the current task).
