I'm also getting the same issue since upgrading from 69 to 70. Tried using various different shells (Git bash, PS etc). Reverted back to 69 until a fix is in place.

[dietervanhoof]

It looks like the detection(?) of when to use ConPTY is wrong (I have no clue what this all means but at least I managed to fix it on my system). I added useConPTY: false to the terminal element in my config file.

So my config looks like:

hotkeys:
  shell: {}
ssh: {}
terminal:
  environment: {}
  useConPTY: false

Could you try this and let me know if that works for you?

[xXBeekeyXx]

Could you try this and let me know if that works for you?

Thank you! Every shell works, except WSL/Ubuntu. But interestingly WSL/Default Distro does work, although I am pretty sure that i only have one WSL-distro installed on my laptop.

Could you try this and let me know if that works for you?

Thank you, that's worked for me as well. Keep up the good work, this is easily the best terminal on Windows right now.

[dietervanhoof]

Keep up the good work, this is easily the best terminal on Windows right now.

Sadly I'm not affiliated with this project whatsoever other than being a user ;) I'm glad I was able to help out though. This is indeed easily the best terminal around.

[niktekusho]

@dietervanhoof 's solution worked for me too.
