Ctrl+Shift+Equals zooms in but fails to suppress the `+` keystroke

Ctrl+Shift+= on an en_US keyboard (recall that Shift+= generates a +) increases the zoom level as expected but now fails to suppress the + character.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Use a standard en_US qwerty keyboard
  2. Open xfce4-terminal version 0.9.1
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+=
  4. Repeat step 3 until you get to the maximum zoom size
  5. Repeat step 3 one more time

Expected results:

  • The terminal zooms incrementally until hitting the max size
  • No keystrokes are sent to the shell or other application running in the terminal
  • Nothing happens on step 5

Actual results:

  • The terminal zooms incrementally until hitting the max size
  • One + is added for each zoom-in action triggered by this keyboard shortcut
  • Nothing happens on step 5 (not even errant + keystrokes)

This is not an issue with the newly-introduced keypad shortcut (Ctrl+KP_Add) from !26 (merged), and Ctrl+Shift+KP_Add does nothing (as expected).

I'm using Debian Testing but I've pulled xfce4-terminal 0.9.1-1 from Experimental and launched it with xfce4-terminal --disable-server. Most of my system is still using older packages (the latest in Debian Testing), so this might be an artifact related to that.
