Windows Terminal version

preview-1.21.1272.0

Windows build number

10.0-19045

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

In a folder one ha two directory

ordini/
org/

Now type

ls -lrt o<TAB>

it is completed in

ls -lrt or<BEEP>

Now type i, i.e.

ls -lrt ori<TAB>

nothing happens. Whatever character one types now it prints a BEEP. This occurs both with MSYS2 and WSL2 in WT.

It is as if the completion is out of phase, not synchronized.

Expected Behavior

Now type i, i.e.

ls -lrt ori<TAB>

we should hear a BEEP

Actual Behavior

nothing happens. Whatever character one types now it prints a BEEP.

Reverting to preview-1.20.11215.0 or in MinTTY it works as expected (both with MSYS2 and WSL2).

This seems fixed in v1.21.1382.0. Can you test that version and check if it still happens for you? I think this was fixed by #17212, because it then properly flushes the internal buffer.
