In the latest version 0.46.8, whenever the agent executes a command in the terminal, it gets stuck until manually canceled. I have tried using Bash, Zsh and Fish, but the issue does not seem to be related to the shell. The command exits successfully, but the agent remains stuck, waiting for the ter…

I’m encountering the same issue. Popping sometime solves it.

Same issue, wasted a few 10s of prompts due to this hanging, many more considering the lost discussions because it cannot execute. @ericzakariasson @danperks could we get some response A simple command which gets hung up [image] which has no problem running in actual terminal [image] feels am…

@danperks is fixing this is on the roadmap or I’m stuck on 0.45?

I think the pattern I’ve noticed is that the first time the agent calls the terminal in a conversation, it works fine. Every subsequent terminal use reuses the first terminal, and that leads to this bug. So to avoid this, I basically always press “pop out terminal” after the first one finishes to e…
