Research direction
Start by reproducing the freeze in the rdbg console with Ruby 3.1.1 and rdbg 1.7.1, using the Rails 7.0.4.3 context described in the report. Compare the same interaction with binding.pry and investigate the console input path. Done means repeated keystrokes no longer freeze the terminal and normal interruption remains possible.

Description
Your environment
ruby -v: ruby 3.1.1p18 (2022-02-18 revision 53f5fc4236) [arm64-darwin21]rdbg -v: rdbg 1.7.1
Describe the bug
Debugger is freezing after typing a few keystrokes at random; almost reliably freezing with 3+ keystrokes. Any new key pressed just echoes in the screen the key pressed, but nothing happens.
It freezes the terminal window so bad that not even CTRL C can escape it:
To Reproduce
Just install a debugger anywhere in the code and start typing on the console.
Expected behavior
I expected it not to freeze.
If I use binding.pry instead, everything works just fine.
