gnome-terminal: pressing <shift>+<tab> key locks up window

If you press shift-tab in a gnome-terminal, it locks up. Seen on two totally different hardware configs: XFree86 3.3.4 and 3.3.5 with a Voodoo3, PCConcepts contour keyboard XFree86 3.3.3.1 and 3.3.5 on a Matrox Millenium II, Microsoft Natural (classic) keyboard Both PII machines, only similarity is the SVGA server, but I think it's really a problem with gnome-terminal.
Hit it again; it unsticks... ------- Additional Comments From 09/26/99 03:21 ------- that's really lame... this is a really bad feature, if it's a feature and not a bug. I get this all the time when I'm trying to tab-complete environment variables, because they are usually upper case, so I happen to have shift down at the time. I can't be the only one.
Actually, the focus just gets changed to the main application window widget. This is fixed in October GNOME. ------- Additional Comments From 10/29/99 19:24 ------- hey, thanks!
