Environment

WIndows 10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal Preview 3

Steps to reproduce

Select text.
Press Ctrl C

Expected behavior

Per Windows behavior, Ctrl C should copy the text.

Actual behavior

Ctrl C cancels, potentially terminating foreground jobs. This makes sense from a terminal point of view, but Windows users are used to hitting Ctrl C to copy text. That there is some text selected is a good indication that the user wishes to copy, not to cancel.
