Not sure whether it is a PowerShell issue or a Terminal one.

Environment

Win32NT 10.0.19043.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19043.0
Windows Terminal
Version: 1.6.10571.0

Steps to reproduce

Occurs randomly

Expected behavior

I could type and paste uppercase letters as much as I want.

Actual behavior

Sometimes when I'm pasting copied text string that contains uppercase letters or trying to type them manually (using keyboard) they simply refuse to appear.

Very embarrassing bug that can only disappear after I relaunch the shell.

Okay, so this is bizarre. We've seen this intermittently before, over in #7087 and #8450. From that thread: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7087#issuecomment-676782357

Found a fix. If you have the same problem as me, then updating PSReadLine to the latest preview version can help you. Check out this PowerShell/PowerShell#10794 and this PowerShell/PSReadLine for more information.

@akivanov Could you try that, and see if that resolves the issue?

It turned out that STR from https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/10794 were indeed triggering the bug. And after installing a new version of PSReadLine STR doesn't lead to a bug anymore. Thank you, @zadjii-msft!
