Description

Platform

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

Steps to reproduce

Was using "Claude Sonnet 4.6" to do a major refactor of java.
At some point copilot appeared to be hung and when I looked at the terminal window I saw
that the command:
`powershell -Command "Select-String -Path 'E:\git\JiraConnector\jrjc-api\src\main\java\me\glindholm\jira\rest\client\api\AuthenticationHandler.java' -Pattern '.' | Select-Object LineNumber, Line" | more'
had put the terminal in pagination mode.
Once I cleared the pause, copilot continued doing the refactor.

This happened twice in that particular run. I re-ran the refactor a couple of more times and did not see the issue with the other runs.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported PowerShell command that ends with more, using the AuthenticationHandler.java path from the report, then inspect the plugin's terminal command invocation path. Done means the command output no longer leaves the Eclipse terminal in pagination mode during the reported refactor workflow.
