Windows Terminal version

1.21.1272.0

Windows build number

10.0.22631.0

Other Software

wsl terminal, powershell, etc.

Steps to reproduce

Sequential numpad keys combinations with the ALT key pressed to insert special characters ( for example the most common ones such as { with ALT+123, ~ with ALT+126, or the tilde ~ with ALT+126, etc. ) do not work anymore.

The latest working version is Microsoft.WindowsTerminal.Preview 1.20.11215.0, the next current one (1.21.1272.0) broke this functionality.

Expected Behavior

On previous versions the combination works

raksati@wsl:$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

` 96 0140 0x60

^D 4 0004 0x04
raksati@wsl:~$

Actual Behavior

nothing is detected:

raksati@wsl:$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^D 4 0004 0x04
raksati@wsl:~$
