Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Trying to canceling replace with n stdin, it will not clear "Perform replacement" statement, more likely it won't do anything, until I press escape to exit from there.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the replace interaction in micro on Debian 11 with xfce4-terminal, using the n stdin input described in the issue. Trace the replace command's input handling; done means pressing n cancels the replacement and clears the “Perform replacement” statement without requiring Escape.
