Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.535]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):
Version: 0.7.3451.0

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

when I input something within the terminal, no matter it is command line or coding with VIM editor in WSL, it will all occur this problem.

For example, I want to key down "cat -n 10 myfilename" in the wsl command line, sometimes when I finished key down the letter "n", I want to continue to write "a", but at this time, The terminal will auto repeating the letter "n" for many many times. I was not able to do anything unless just press the X button to close that window.

I have recorded a video to show this problem

But this will not occur in the system's cmd which opens with "win+r" then write down "cmd" or PowerShell and so on. Only occur in terminal
