Description
Windows Terminal version
1.26.901
Windows build number
10.0.26603.0 on ARM Surface Pro
Other Software
GitHub Copilot 1.0.29
Steps to reproduce
Open copilot CLI
Open on screen keyboard
(optional) /model to open a TUI
try to use arrow keys to move cursor or selected items
Expected Behavior
cursor should move or selection should be updated as if you used a physical keyboard
Actual Behavior
no input detected
other keys work fine (ie ESC, typing, etc)
physical keyboard works fine
REGRESSION: WT 1.24.10921 (Stable) works fine. This is potentially related to KKP? That's a big change in input handling that happened recently
