Description
This has been happening for quite a while, and I bet there's a pretty simple explanation.
It might happen when you activate the Hyper-V `vmconnect` window.
Admittedly, I can't reproduce it on the Windows Evaluation VM with 1.17 to grab a screenshot, but it has happened to me enough times that I know it's lurking in there.

> 1. Start a VM running Windows 11+
> 2. Connect to it in Virtual Machine Connection, rejecting the enhanced session prompt
> 3. Launch Terminal
> 4. Focus on something other than the VMC window.
> 5. Click on the Terminal window within the VMC window.
> 6. Observe `;1_` is typed.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the six-step reproduction using a Windows 11+ VM, Virtual Machine Connection in basic session mode, and Terminal. Focus on the interaction between the VMC window and the Terminal window after focus changes. Done means clicking Terminal in this scenario no longer types the spurious `;1_`.
