Originally created by @prayagsingh on GitHub (May 21, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.264]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1401.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. press ctrl R in Ubuntu 18.04 terminal(windows-terminal) to search the command and press Tab key to complete the command.
    eg: In my case, i was searching for docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d command

Expected behavior

If pressed Tab key to complete the command in reverse-i-search then it shouldn't freeze the cursor in the beginning of the command.

Actual behavior

  1. I'm trying to run the command using reverse-i-search (ctrl R). Search is working fine but if I'm using Tab key while searching to complete the command in reverse-i-search then the cursor freezes in the beginning of the command and when I'm trying to execute it by pressing enter key then it is not happening. It stuck.
  2. Even ctrl C is not working. Only way to get out of this is to close the terminal.

Huh, that's certainly weird. It sounds like the focus got out of the Terminal and into some other UI element. Does clicking on the Terminal, in the text area restore focus to terminal (allowing input again)?

No. It stop responding. I'm facing this issue from last couple of months. Earlier I reported this bug in WSL project(thought that this is a wsl issue)

For reference, I have attached the screenshot when I reported it in WSL project.
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4966

Still same issue.

Same issue. In my case the bash shell hangs because it's scanning every file available in PATH, specially in /mnt/ directories. See https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4966#issuecomment-640135458

Easiest way to reproduce: From bash type unshare and press TAB two or tree times. The cursor blinks but you can't type. Just wait for some seconds until is responsive again.

Sorry for the delay, we've had a bit of a busy month and are just catching up on triage.

@prayagsingh does @onomatopellan's fix from microsoft/WSL#4966 help?

To test if that's the problem, from bash run this:

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

and after that try again using reverse-i-search. Now there shouldn't be any hangs.

@zadjii-msft yes it works but commands like code . and explorer.exe . stopped working because the Path isn't present.

alpha@GHOST-RIDER:/c/Users/GHOST-RIDER$ code .

Command 'code' not found, did you mean:

  command 'cde' from deb cde
  command 'ode' from deb plotutils
  command 'tcode' from deb emboss
  command 'node' from deb nodejs
  command 'cobe' from deb python-cobe
  command 'cdde' from deb cdde

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

alpha@GHOST-RIDER:/c/Users/GHOST-RIDER$ explorer.exe .
explorer.exe: command not found

Okay well that's good to know. If that's the case, then this definitely isn't a Terminal issue, but something more fundamental to WSL. This will probably be better served by continuing the discussion in microsoft/WSL#4966. Thanks!
