Intermittently unable to exit pager after `git log`

Windows Terminal version

1.19.240130002

Windows build number

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

• create a git repo
• make about 50 commits so the git log needs to use pager
  mkdir winterm-pager-repro; cd winterm-pager-repro; invoke-expression 'git init'; for($i = 0; $i -le 50; $i++) { echo 'abc' >> testfile.txt; invoke-expression 'git add .'; invoke-expression "git commit -m "test commit $i"'; }
• run 'git log' on the repo. make sure the pager is invoked and you have an option to enter q to exit pager and get back to prompt. please try this 10-15 times. this doesnt happen consistently but its happens consistently when tried multiple times.
• if reproed, after entering 'q', the ':' at the end of page disappears, cursor continues to blink, but prompt wont be available. you will need to open a new tab or instance to continue.

Expected Behavior

upon hitting 'q', pager should exit and I should be back on the command prompt.

Actual Behavior

upon hitting 'q' to exit pager, command prompt doesn't reappear. only option is to open a new tab/instance.

in the image below, I should be able to hit q and get back to the prompt

when i hit 'q', the terminal gets stuck. there cursor continues to blink (not captured in screenshot below) but terminal doesnt respond to any key press. it is not frozen because i can select text with my mouse, close/open new tabs.

Few things I have tried to isolate the issue:

• ran powershell without my profile and without loading any other module besides ps-readline, the issue still happens
