ctrl-c sometimes causes wayland session to exit

[Nelson Crosby]

Ubuntu 16.10; gnome-session 3.20.2-1ubuntu7; Gnome on Wayland.
Ctrl-C should copy text; sometimes instead kills Gnome session.

Sometimes, when I try to copy, I get logged out (presumably due to this combination being interpreted as SIGINT by Gnome).

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble reliably reproducing this bug. It doesn't seem to happen if one copy has been done already (can't confirm though), however I can successfully copy immediately after logging in again. Even then, though, it doesn't always happen after first login, and many days it never happens at all.

I don't even know if it happens when any application is focused (mostly because I only really use Chrome and the terminal in day-to-day operation), though I note that it's never happened when I've used that combination to interrupt another program under Gnome Terminal (not to say it can't happen though, I don't do that very often).

Due to the difficulty in reproducing, I've yet to determine if it's even specifically a part of this package (though it seems a good place to start).

I'll try remember to provide updates if I notice any other behaviour.

Ubuntu 16.10: gnome-session 3.20.4-0ubuntu2; Gnome on Wayland; nvidia 375.39-0ubuntu0.16.10.1. Same thing here. Logs don't seem to show anything, either. It's completely random but seems to do it early (once I've first started the computer) and then doesn't do it again the rest of the day.

I also noticed this behavior.

For me, it appears systematically when I kill another session.

My desktop is shared between multiple users (me and my children). Sometimes, to retrieve ressources, I decide to close session of my children with `loginctl kill-user son`. And then, any Ctrl-C in any application will close my own session.

Is anyone still, is anyone still seeing that issue in recent Ubuntu versions? If so could you add your 'journalctl -b 0' log after seeing the issue?

@Guilhem, what ubuntu version do you use? Do you get the issue if you log out from the other session using the UI rather than the command you described?
