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'.
