hi @MakeMoney_Only this is highly unusual and we may need more info to debug the issue or reproduce it.

Which terminal is your default?

Does this happen when Agent uses the terminal or also in threads when agent is not using it?

Do you run any long running commands in terminal?

my default used to be CMD for a long time, currently it’s bash but it happens both ways regardless, i’ve been dealing with this for a while.

and this happens on all opened terminals regardless of their types or if the agent or i was using it, they all disappear at the same time

sometimes i might run on running commands, but usually not really, and i always clear the terminal or open a new one, because usually can’t use one for the entire session because they always break.

We may need more information when and how this occurs so we can reproduce it as it is not a common issue.
