Hello,

I am able to reproduce this bug on three different GNU/Linux distros, with ratpoison 1.4.8 and latest (as of today) Firefox 64 Bit nightly. However, I think the fault lies with Firefox to some extent, since the same behaviour is observable with StumpWM when using Ctrl+T as the escape key. Since the two projects do not share code, there might be something wrong with the way newer Firefox versions handle receiving control key sequences.
