Public bug reported:

I think I've discovered a bug in the linux top command.  (Ubuntu 14.04
tested only)

Steps to reproduce:

$ top
press k
it then prompts for PID or selects top process by default
press the esc key
press esc key again

Result:

it kills the process anyway

It's weird to me that the escape key is also seen as confirmation,
though I should have probably used ctrl+c, it does not feel right.

** Affects: procps (Ubuntu)
