What do you mean by "^"? in keyboard shortcut terminology it is ctrl. Is 
it the same behavior with alt+tab? Are you able to reproduce the same 
bug with the Mate desktop and mate-terminal? Is it the same behavior 
with two tabs instead of two windows?

Could you provide us the full file? Could you upload it on a pastebin 
service?

Best regards.
