Description Bill Hayden 2004-09-10 15:30:14 UTC 
1. Start terminal and open some new terminal tabs
2. Set shortcut for prev terminal to shift-left-arrow, and for next terminal to
shift-right-arrow
3. Starting at the leftmost terminal tab, shift-right-arrow until you come to
the right-most temrinal tab.  This works fine.
4. Shift-right one more time.

Instead of "eating" the character, it is sent to the console.  It should either
ignore the character, or even better, move back to the first tab (circular
tabbing like Konsole).

You may not notice the bug if your first or last terminal session in the row is
a local session.  The character sequence *is* sent to the respective console,
but may not show up as a visible character.  I noticed the bug when I was
rlogged-in to an AIX box which apparenty used a slightly different character
mapping, and my attempt to shift-left-arrow or shift-right-arrow comes out as a
capital C or D.
