@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Aug 26, 2024):

I'm guessing you've also got the experimental "Reposition the cursor with mouse clicks" enabled?

I think I've seen this with a git diff in the win32 git a few times too, though with slightly different symptoms. I suspect we're sending the arrow keys even though the terminal isn't in the commandline state anymore (now it's in the output).

yep, It only seems to happen when both "Automatically mark prompts on pressing Enter" and "Reposition the cursor with mouse clicks" are enabled in WSL2 Ubuntu at the same time.

what is this setting? i dont think i've enabled this and i don't see it in the settings, if it's still an option as of today...

(also running into this issue)
