Windows Terminal version

1.12.10393.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.493]

Other Software

GNU bash, version 4.4.23(2)-release (x86_64-pc-msys), Git for Windows 2.35.1.windows.2

Steps to reproduce

Prerequisites: install Git for Windows, then set up Git Bash in Windows Terminal as follows:

{
                "commandline": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe -i -l",
                "guid": "{763c51e6-3ab8-413c-b51c-2fd2abf9fba8}",
                "icon": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico",
                "name": "Git-Bash",
                "startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%",
                "tabTitle": "Git Bash"
            }

Also, make sure that ctrl-v is unbound in Windows Terminal.
Open Git Bash in Windows Terminal, then press ctrl-v, and finally shift-tab.

Expected Behavior

The escape code ^[[Z should be displayed on the screen.

Actual Behavior

Pressing shift-tab inserts a tab character anyway.
