Bug Description
Every other terminal I've used on Linux/Unix (GNOME Terminal, LXTerminal, et.al.) allows
Control-D to be used as a bash emacs editing mode 'delete-char' operation. Pantheon
terminal processes Control-D immediately, even when performing bash editing on a line that
is partially entered. Control-D should not terminate the process when editing a line, other
than when Control-D is the first character typed on the input.
To reproduce:
1. Open Terminal - make sure bash is the shell, and editing mode is emacs (set -o emacs)
2. Type "abdcefg"
3. Using cursor keys, cursor left three times, cursor should be over 'e'
4. Press Control-D
result: terminal closes
expected result: 'e' is deleted.

As a workaround, you can disable the save exited tabs feature with "gsettings set org.pantheon.
