AI Chat Terminal doesn't return (exit)

Describe the Bug

Does this happen to anyone else? When the AI runs a terminal command (in the chat) and it completes and goes back to command prompt the AI doesn’t continue. It just waits forever until you click Shift + Skip or press Enter (return) in the terminal. It will start happening in chat every single time a command is run in the terminal, so it will hang until you intervene over and over - quite annoying! The spinning indicator next to the Shift + Skip button just keeps spinning until you do something.

Steps to Reproduce

Ask the AI to run some command and now wait for the AI in the chat to run a command in the terminal and that’s it! Wait forever!!

Expected Behavior

After a command run in the terminal finishes and it goes to command prompt, the terminal is supposed to return, and the AI model is supposed to go back to outputting the response.
