Keyboard Interrupt Printing Weird Sequence of Characters #300502
Description
Type: Bug
Keyboard Interrupt has not been working for the past two versions. The last version where it functioned correctly was the January 2026 release (v1.109).
Steps:
- Run any program
- Invoke Ctrl + C
- '^[[99;5u' gets printed on the console, rather than the keyboard interrupt being executed
