Description Egmont Koblinger 2018-02-16 20:37:04 UTC 
Found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1748797:

Just like `gnome-terminal` refuses to close a tab or the window if a process is running in the foreground, it should refuse to close if a started job has been interrupted using Ctrl+Z.
Comment 1 Egmont Koblinger 2018-02-16 20:40:46 UTC 
Currently terminal_screen_has_foreground_process() calls tcgetpgrp() to figure out the PID of the foreground process, and checks if it differs from the shell it launched.

In order to address the feature request, we'd need a different approach. E.g. on Linux: scan /proc/*/stat, look for processes with field #3 being T (stopped) and field #4 (ppid) matching the launched child.

The pain point is that it's different on all OSes, but doing for Linux only would already be an improvement.
