Description
Bug report form
- I have done a basic search of the issue tracker to find any existing issues that are similar.
- I have checked that my version is at least the latest stable release available via my installation method.
Describe the bug
nushell prompt hangs when I run ./neovide.exe.
How to reproduce
- nu version: 0.107.0
- Install neovide.exe
- Open nushell without config:
nu -n - Run neovide.exe:
./neovide.exe - nushell prompt hangs until I close neovide.exe.
Expected behavior
Powershell and CMD prompt does not hang when I run neovide.exe.
Configuration

Research direction
Start by reproducing the hang with nu -n and ./neovide.exe, then compare the behavior with PowerShell and CMD. Trace the Nushell process-handling path involved in launching the executable; done means the prompt returns while neovide.exe remains open, without requiring configuration changes.
