    Hello Parallels Support Team,

    I'm seeing a keyboard/input issue in Parallels Desktop on macOS with an Ubuntu 22.04 guest VM. When I drag windows in the Ubuntu GUI, the active terminal session receives an unexpected Ctrl+C, which interrupts the foreground process (SIGINT). This happens without me pressing any keys.



    Signal-level confirmation
    If I run:

    bash
    bash -lc 'trap "echo GOT_INT" INT; trap "echo GOT_WINCH" WINCH; echo "ready"; while :; do sleep 1; done'

    and then drag a window, I repeatedly get:

    ^C
    GOT_INT

    This indicates the guest receives SIGINT

    It also occurs when I select text in the Terminal window.
