Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.14.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Gnome-terminal uses Ctrl-Shift-Q as a shortcut for immediately closing
the terminal window.
Unfortunately, it treats Ctrl-Q with CapsLock on the same as Ctrl-Shift-Q.
Ctrl-Q is a common terminal control character and is also used in many
terminal based applications, but if you have CapsLock on it becomes very
dangerous: in my case I'd brushed my capslock key and didn't notice it
was on, and was both startled and seriously inconvenienced when my
terminal window closed unexpectedly, taking my remote session and
working data with it.
I additionally work with users who use apps that require upper-case
input, so the habitual use of CapsLock around here is quite common.
Please, don't let shortcut keys treat 'CapsLock On' the same as holding
the Shift key down, particularly in relation to comparatively
common keystrokes like 'Ctrl-Q' and potentially dangerous actions like
'close window'.
Thanks,
John Pearson.

It seems this bug is already fixed in the 2.18 version currently in
unstable.
