Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18922.1000]

Steps to reproduce

When working under load, (was building an Android project at the time), I had a second tab open trying to copy/paste or type git commands.

Expected behavior

One tab shouldn't affect another. Rendering on the new tab was error prone with strange behavior at times.

Performing the same actions in a separately opened PowerShell or command prompt window performed as expected with little to no input latency.

Actual behavior

Each character from the pasted text appeared individually, one after another with a noticeable pause in between. Typing regular characters seemed to print out an incorrect character at times which was overwritten moments later by the correct one. At other times, the current line would re-render to the right of the cursor just to be overwritten as the cursor progressed.
