Launched Windows terminal for a few minutes, suddenly, it doesn't accept any keyboard input, which means there is no response in Windows Terminal no matter what I type into its window.

Windows Terminal shows/does nothing no matter what I typed there. Other apps and cmd.exe works fine.

Does this only happen to one tab, or when this happens, do all tabs stop responding to keyboard input? Can you open the command palette in this state, via the new tab dropdown, and type in there/?

I have also encountered a similar situation when I use SSH to connect to the computer. A single tab cannot be entered

This happens to all tabs, even for the new tab I opened when the issue happened. Will try open command palette if I get the repro again.

I'd also be curious in what you're actually running in the tab that becomes unresponsive. I vaguely recall an issue from a few months ago where a bad ssh version could result in the tab seemingly hanging, when really it was just ssh that stopped responding to input.

Cannot remember I was running the inbox ssh.exe or not. I think in my case it is not single app doesn't respond to input as there are multiple tabs (more than 3) and all hang on input.

Okay. I'd definitely be curious what the solid repro is here. "after a few minutes it stops responding to input" doesn't really give a lot to work off of. If there was a DPI change, or the window resized, or you executed something specifically that caused it to hang, that'd be much more interesting. If it just stops responding to keyboard input, but not mouse input, that too would be interesting (heck, that'd be crazy surprising).
