Description Glyn Adgie 2004-02-05 16:06:04 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe; CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe"
OS:          Linux

When a konsole is started from file manager Tools->'Open Terminal', the konsole does not handle ^C and ^D correctly. ^C closes konsole, instead of closing an application started from the konsole. ^D does the same. This does not happen when the konsole is started from the KDE panel, start menu, or from 'Run Command'.

The problem also occurs if I select 'Quick Browser'->'Home Folder'->'Open in Terminal'.

If a second terminal is opened from the first, using 'Session'->'New Shell', the new terminal works correctly, but the original konsole still closes both on ^C or ^D.

This can be worked around by changing the default terminal emulator to xterm.

Fixed for KDE 3.2.1
Comment 2 Honschu Lee 2004-02-05 18:04:24 UTC 
$ kstart konsole
-> the same problem with CTRL+C
$ konsole
-> no problem

Howto change the default terminal emulator to xterm ?
Comment 3 Glyn Adgie 2004-02-06 10:02:53 UTC 
You can change the default terminal emulator from KDE Control Center:

'KDE Components'->'Component Chooser'->'Terminal Emulator'
