CTRL+C during button selection in interactive mode causes exception

Rasa version: 1.4.1

Python version: 3.6

Operating system (windows, osx, …): Docker container

Issue: When running Rasa in interactive mode, if you enter the button selection interface and attempt to exit early, an exception will be thrown and prevent you from exporting the current session to training data.

Desired behavior: Rasa should be able to process an exit command during button selection and allow for training data export.

Error (including full traceback):

Command or request that led to error:

1. rasa interactive
2. receive button selection utterance, press CTRL+C and see crash

WORKAROUND: selecting to enter your own message then pressing CTRL+C will capture the exit command properly and allow for export as per normal.

Sure, I think I’ll have time to address it sometime this week 😃
