Bug Description

This afternoon my terminator begun to behave strange: when I hit ctrl+a it disappear and when I hit again it may show up.

I use Bunsenlabs (Compton + Openbox + Tint2) on Sid (Debian Unstable) channels. At first I though it was some windows manager bug, because even if you are in any other app, like a text editor, the ctrl+a doesn't work and then all open terminals in any virtual desktop disappears or shows up. I tried to trace the bug on Tint2 or windows composer, but I figure out that when there is no terminator windows open, the ctrl+a works as expected in all places. If I open just a terminator window, this problem happens even when you are on different desktop (workspace) and application.

$ terminator --version
terminator 1.91

$ apt show terminator

I can also confirm that this definitely seems to be an issue with 1.91-1 of terminator.

I downgraded to 1.90-+bzr-1705-1 and the issue is no longer present.

After an upgrade, the issue was once again present.
