Originally created by @Jacob-Bishop on GitHub (Aug 30, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version: 1.2.2381.0
ssh-keygen 7.7.2.1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a new powershell shell in Windows Terminal
  2. run the ssh-keygen powershell command.

Expected behavior

When prompted to specify the file to save the key in, I am able to enter text.

Actual behavior

Typing does not produce visible text, and hitting enter does not cause ssh-keygen to continue. I am able to break execution with Control-z, however.

Notes

ssh-keygen behaves as expected when run in a powershell shell in conhost.exe.

Can you reproduce with Win32-OpenSSH 8.1?

@WSLUser Do you have a reason to think that this issue likely to specific to the version of ssh-keygen I'm running, given that the problem doesn't occur when running in a conhost powershell terminal?

If yes, is https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/tag/v8.1.0.0p1-Beta the release you wanted me to test? If not, can you link to the exact release?

That's the one and its not about the version of key-gen so much as the Windows support that was added between 7.7 and 8.1 including console support.

For what it's worth, I've seen the same behaviour as the opener of the issue, with Windows Terminal 1.3.2651.0 , and this is indeed a difference from running it with the old console server.

@WSLUser Apologies for the delay in responding -- this issue no longer occurs with version 8.1 of ssh-keygen.

In #8814, @sba923 had a similar issue, even with C:\OpenSSH-Win64\8.1.0.0p1-Beta\OpenSSH-Win64\ssh-keygen.exe. For them, the issue went away after a reboot.

To be more specific, even newly created Windows Terminal tabs running PowerShell were not affected. Rebooting just made the very specific affected instance vanish 😉

Just experienced the exact same issue with netsh launched from PowerShell 7.1.3 running in a Windows Terminal Preview 1.7.572.0 tab. In another (new) tab, the issue cannot be repro'ed. Created #9546.
