What's Wrong?

I am in a session, and the model has used its "questions" tool to ask some questions.

I go to the last option where I can type something.

I have a lot to say here, and I type/paste several lines until all input to the terminal window stops.

The terminal window is completely locked. Ctrl-C does not interrupt. ESC does not interrupt. Closing the terminal appears to be the only way.

What Should Happen?

I should be able to type into this input buffer without completely locking the terminal. That's, like, bad or something. P0 data loss, right?
