Originally created by @lisamariet on GitHub (Aug 18, 2022).

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...

Even stranger.. if I run command ssh bitbucket.org It will allow me to type YES when asked the same question.

And then I can do git clone.

Which version of ssh/? Does this repro in both a Terminal window and a vintage console window (conhost.exe) the same way?

ssh -V reports:
OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2

In vintage console it behaves the same yes.

When testing now. I realized that actually it does register that I type yes.. it just does not SHOW it in the console, like it does in powershell or bash shell.

So I typed yes and pressed enter and it did add the new location to known hosts and cloned the repo. So I guess this is fine then. I must have miss spelled 'yes' before.
