Windows Terminal version

1.20.11781.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4169]

Other Software

tcsh (https://github.com/amoldeshpande/tcsh/releases/tag/20240612.2)

Steps to reproduce

  1. start tcsh-x64.exe -f
  2. paste 🐧🔐 into the shell

Expected Behavior

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/8663 was closed as fixed in 2022, so I'm not sure if this is new or not.

Terminal does not update to a newer version than above if I go into the "About" box. Will updating to 1.21 manually give me the fix ?

Actual Behavior

conhost.exe crashes.

If I do the same thing after starting tcsh in Terminal, weird things happen that I haven't debugged yet.

@j4james commented on GitHub (Sep 23, 2024):

If you're using the inbox conhost (i.e. the version that comes preinstalled with Windows), I suspect it just doesn't have that fix included. Installing a new version of Windows Terminal isn't going to change that.

I know I can reproduce the crash in the conhost that's bundled with version 10.0.19041.4894 of Windows, but not in the latest version of OpenConsole built from source, so I don't think the #8663 fix has regressed (or if it did regress, it has since been fixed again).

That said, the emoji don't actually get pasted successfully - tcsh just outputs three "Command not found" errors - but at least nothing is crashing.

The good news is that the fix (#14745) is part of Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100+) and so it'll be publicly available as the next stable version soon. I'll be closing the issue then.
