Windows Terminal version

1.18.3181.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Simply run (with Win+R shortcut) this command :

wt powershell -c pause

wait 32 sec.

yeah, 32 sec exactly... not 30 !
the focus is loose each time, and only on Windows Terminal !
if I use old blue Powershell console, he don't loose the focus
very weird ^^

it happen also with

wt powershell -c Read-Host

of course, that is a minimal example to reproduce, but that very painfull for the script I'm working on

Expected Behavior

After 32 seconds, the terminal still have the focus. Hit ENTER stop the pause

Actual Behavior

After 32 seconds, the terminal loose the focus. Hit ENTER do nothing because terminal don't catch the input until we click/set focus on terminal

sorry gentle bot, but my case is little different : Terminal have the focus when open, but loose it after 32 sec...
In example you show me they don't have the focus at start. And I don't use WSL.

Do you have something like BeyondSoft or CyberArk or anything like that/? Does this repro any time you open a new tab once the Terminal is already running?

What you're describing is highly similar to reports over in #13388

Hi Zadjii,
You have right, BeyondTrust is integrated into my work environment as an identity and privilege manager.
I've tried using admin rights, but the focus problem persists.

As in the case of #13388, creating a new tab makes me lose focus, but only after 32sec.

Welp yea, let's merge this into that other thread then. There's something wacky that BeyondTrust does that we don't fully understand. We have yet to come up with a clever fix 😕

/dup #13388
