Control key not working on embedded terminal (mac os)

I probably changed some setting by mistake, how do I get the control key to work again??

Given I open a terminal in IntelliJ (2016.2.3)
And I run a command that takes some time to run
When I press control + c
Then I should see the command being aborted
Instead I see the letter c is typed instead.

Basically the control key is not working at all in the embedded terminal.

The same scenario works on webstorm and iterm. So it's definitely IntelliJ

Since my last answered, a new version (2016.2.4) of IntelliJ has been released. This new version fixes the problem.

Short answer: Revert to previous version

IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.3 seems to have a bug that prevents the control key to be sent to the terminal. I reverted to the previous version and it fixed it for me.

This is not the best answer, but it's the only way I could find to fix it. Thanks @charles-o for pointing out that he started seeing this problem after updating.
