Could you maybe grab a screen recording of what you're describing? (ScreenToGif is excellent for this).

Does this repro in tabs for other shells (e.g. powershell) in your Terminal?

Have you made any changes to your settings? If so,
Could you share your settings.json file/?

Не могли бы вы сделать запись экрана того, что вы описываете? (ScreenToGif отлично подходит для этого).

I apologize for creating a topic about the problem in vain, and maybe not in vain))
When recording the problem on video, I found out why I had this problem, the qTranslate program was to blame.
The problem can be solved by adding Windows Terminal to the qTranslate program exception
