Happened to me as well, sometimes it will run the command but there is no output at all, sometimes it’s just gets interrupted on its own and the the Agent says that it was interrupted by the user. I’m using Windows, and only happened if it is an instance of Cursor Terminal, and it will always have `Terminate batch job (Y/N)?` as if I was `Interrupting` the command. Using `ctrl+` command on it wont result the expected command and instead print out this:

```auto
^V^V^V^V^V^V^S^S^S^S^S^S^S^W^W^W^W^W^W^Q^Q^Q^Q^E^E^E^R^R^R

```

It doesn’t happen when I spawn the terminal

This one, I don’t even cancel the command, but still it says I am cancelling it

The issue has been around for a while, but since the last update, it happens consistently
