Description

confirmation-pending terminal-input

Type: Bug

  1. Open vs code terminal with git bash as default
  2. Start typing a command. First character typed is ommited occasionally.

This is most noticable when launching claude code in a terminal session with the top right shortcut button and with bash as default.
