Windows Terminal version

1.17.1023

Windows build number

10.0.25300.1000

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Not sure. Most of the time I'm just typing typical stuffs.

Expected Behavior

Ctrl key is not stuck.

Actual Behavior

I'm reopening #14343, which was suspected to be dupe of #14345/#14129, but those are supposedly fixed on the build I'm on.

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.
