Windows Terminal version

1.17.230526001

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

"GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)" with org-mode v9.6.8 (inside WSL2)

Steps to reproduce

Configure emacs to use org-mode and type some text in a line.
Now move on that line to remove and insert text at arbitrary positions, i. e. type " a some characters ".

Expected Behavior

The new text is exactly as typed.

Actual Behavior

The cursor is jumping involuntary to the beginning of and back to typing position in line meanwhile garbling the text you already typed in unpredictable manner.

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Aug 29, 2023):

How are you launching the Terminal? Are you

  • starting the Terminal directly (the start menu, or wt.exe, or taskbar, or whatever)?
  • or are you launching wsl.exe (or ubuntu.exe, or whatever distro of choice) directly?

This sounds vaguely like #14512

Can you try Terminal Preview v1.18 and let us know if it repros on that build/?

@zadjii-msft launching WindowsTerminal.exe via taskbar with one "terminal profile" defined to start wsl.exe, I also tried starting wsl.exe directly from a pwsh.exe instance circumventing WindowsTerminal.exe and there the behaviour was not reproducible.

Will try your steps asap.

@573 is org build-in or installed? Use M-x package-list-packages to check.
