Acroread vs. ctrl/z

2013-12-19 Thread Jonathan Ryshpan
When Adobe acroread is run from a terminal, ctrl/z doesn't suspend it.
^Z appears on the terminal, which hangs until acroread terminates itself
or ctrl/c is pressed on the terminal.  However $ acroread  starts
acroread in the background and ctrl/z suspends all other programs, as
expected.  System is Fedora-19 with all updates installed.

Has anyone else seen this?  What's going on?

Presumably acroread is trapping the Ctrl-Z. Whether that's a bug or a
feature is a matter of conjecture. Programs can do pretty much what they
like with their controlling terminal. It doesn't mean there's anything
wrong with your system.
