Windows Terminal version

1.14.1962.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.1889

Other Software

OpenSSH
GitForWindows

Steps to reproduce

  1. run command to clone a repository when first time authenticating with ssh key (I have tried both a bitbucket, and a github repo with same result)
    git clone repoUrl + press enter

  2. It askes if I want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint]) ?

Expected Behavior

I should be able to type yes

Actual Behavior

I cannot type anything. I can press enter and it will complain that I need to type something... but no letter will type.

  • Ctrl + C does break me out of it and then I can type in the window again...
