I the terminal in readonly ? What setting did you change in the Preferences ?
(In reply to Matthias Clasen from comment #1) > I the terminal in readonly ? Right click the terminal's main content area and see if it's marked read-only.
The Preferences changed was SHORTCUTS, changing it back corrects the problem.
"Read-only" was not touched.
(In reply to William Rueth from comment #3) > The Preferences changed was SHORTCUTS, changing it back corrects the problem. I see, ok. Can we consider this problem / mystery solved? :)
On other machines changing SHORTCUTS Preferences, simply works as it should. This is a HP Pavilion g series. Need more info, just ask. Bill

Interesting, I see. What do you exactly mean by "SHORTCUTS Preferences"? I am asking so that we can reproduce it ourselves. Do you mean just toggling the "enable shortcuts" check box? Or did you change the individual shortcuts listed on that page? Were all those test machines running Fedora 30?
That machine has now broken. Thus need to cancel bug. Thanks, Bill Rueth
