Bug Description
AskUserQuestion tool sometimes does not let you submit your selection. It might be a bug with 'vim' mode. I noticed vim motions both navigate and try to type, i.e. doesn't respect insert/normal modes. I have to ctrl+c to exit and get 'user declined to answer questions.' only happens intermittently with 'checkboxes'

I don't think this is a duplicate - specifically references vim mode and checkboxes

Ok I think maybe I just didn't know you could tab to the next 'section'

If this was documented I wouldn't have taken this long to figure it out.

I'm still seeing this issue. It seems to occur if you type in too much. It might be related to when your answer wraps to the next line.
