Ctrl-C does not kill a process in Konsole

I am using KDE 3.3.1-3.14 Red Hat. The OS was recently upgraded to Red Hat RHEL 4. Platform is Linux x86.

Before the OS upgrade I used to be able to kill a process in the Konsole terminal with Ctrl-C. Now it doesn't work anymore and is really annoying, i.e. I have to go to a separate terminal/tab and hit "kill -9". (I case it helps, the command I use often and I'd like to kill is "tail -f")

I've been stuck with this problem for months now and have not been able to find help online. Therefore, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

does ctrl-c work in other terminals, like xterm, or in a real console, like tty1?

Yes, it works on an xterm. Just fails in Konsole.

Yesterday I noticed that I had a Ctrl-C keyboard shortcut for Copy (under Control Panel -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Shortcuts). I removed that shortcut, but the problem didn't go away.

Thanks,

Problem solved: I had configured a Ctrl-C shortcut for copy in Konsole. I removed it, and it works now.

Thanks for the help!
