Description
Device: Macbook Pro M1
- Cursor gets stuck at random places in the terminal. Only way to exit is to press
control + c. - Cannot copy the commands from the terminal window and up arrow button doesn't bring previous command
Until these two issues are fixed, it will be difficult for users to use the inbuilt terminal.
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reproducing the stuck cursor, copy failure, and up-arrow failure in the inbuilt terminal on a MacBook Pro M1. Trace the terminal input and command-history entry points while checking whether Control-C is the only recovery. Done means terminal input remains responsive, commands can be copied, and the up arrow recalls the previous command.
