I hadn't experienced that issue until yesterday, but it happened to me 5
or 6 times since then. Always when pressing Ctrl+C while working in
gnome-terminal. I'm in a default Ubuntu session (wayland).

Input falls through to gdm3 and terminates the session on Ctrl+C

Bug description:
Multiple times a day I find myself without a session after hitting
Ctrl+C in a terminal, it seems the input falls through the
Ubuntu/GNOME session and to gdm, which itself decides to terminate.
Even worse, when this happens, you can briefly see your login password
in plaintext in the virtual terminal. You can see the password however
long you want if you stop the gdm service when this happens.
I don't have a good way to reproduce, but it seems locking the session
with a keyboard shortcut, subsequently unlocking it, maybe suspending,
at some point brings this behaviour into the picture, until the
session dies with a Ctrl+C.
