Yep, and this is very noticeable if your using windows and select any portion of the terminal. All stdout/stderr is blocked.

I had a call when one of our services stopped responding. Took a while to figure out there was a tiny one-character selection in the power shell.

I often wonder if its why it took them over a decade (two decades?) to enable QuickEdit mode by default. Sometimes I'll wonder why something is taking so long and realize that my palm accidentally caused a quickedit selection in cmd.exe.
