Public bug reported:
I've just noticed this in recent Raring updates: gnome-terminal is now
eating control-space keystrikes (C-space).
This is a pretty important keybinding when running various editors such
as emacs -nw or jed in a terminal window. I've looked through the
keyboard shortcuts and can find no bindings to C-space. Hitting C-space
seems to have no effect, but it is also not passed through to the
underlying program (e.g. jed or emacs -nw). It just gets lost afaict.
C-space definitely still works in other desktop apps such as emacs24.
This also definitely worked in Quantal and in Raring until a few days
(?) ago. I'll have to look through recent gnome-terminal changes to see
if I can pinpoint the problem.
This is a fairly serious regression as it blocks important
functionality.
