Hi Phil,

        Yes, we've seen this issue repeatedly with gnome-terminal and 
console.  We will continue to work on it.  Regarding the marking text 
key, either control-6 or shift-control-6 should work.  I know in some 
cases where similar keystrokes are 'bound' by gnome-terminal, it wont 
pass the keystroke through to the application, so maybe check the 
shortcut key definitions for the terminal if neither ^6 or shift-^6 
works...   Thanks much.
