Thanks for the report. The standard fix for interactive input issues in the agent terminal is to enable the Legacy Terminal Tool, but I see that didn’t help you.

I’ll pass this to the team. It might be a regression in the new version.

Saw your answers in all other threads saying this but it is not working..

i have found a workaround on latest release the one im on, when the agent asks for interaction, the agent windows will show a lil tiny micro arrow on top of the action needing user input, you press that arrow and it will open a full blown terminal connected to the agent where you can fully interact with and i think this is a better approach to what you guys had before
