Originally created by @devlie on GitHub (Nov 4, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.15.2875.0

Windows build number

10.0.25231.1000

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

I don't have concrete repro steps. I'm just using running cmd.exe inside Windows Terminal Preview as usual.

Expected Behavior

Ctrl key is not stuck.

Actual Behavior

After some times, Ctrl key will be stuck for a particular tab. I usually find out when hitting Backspace would delete the whole word even though I'm not pressing down Ctrl key, or typing some alphabets would produce something like ^A

I'm positive the problem is scoped to a Terminal tab:

  • If I open a new tab, the issue doesn't persist.
  • The problem doesn't repro on Windows Run dialog (WIN+R) while issue is happening.

Wow that sounds eerily similar to #14338, which was submitted just hours ago.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that this is the same root cause as #14345. We'll tentatively call this a dupe for now, push out a hotfix, and if that release doesn't fix this, we can reopen. Thanks!

@zadjii-msft I'm still reproing this issue on WT Preview 1.17.1023. That build should have the fix for this issue, right?
