I experienced a similar issue today. I ran `snap install app` in my terminal. It popped up a PolicyKit login window and my terminal started filling with empty input lines.
Around the same time, I had this in my journal log repeatedly: gnome-shell: Object 0x5614373df110 of type IBusText has been finalized while it was still owned by gjs, this is due to invalid memory management. Therefore, I'm reassigning to gnome-shell and ibus. I don't think this issue is specific to gnome-terminal. You might eventually see it with a different terminal. I am using the default Ubuntu session on Wayland. ** Package changed: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Also affects: ibus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ibus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1964442 Title: [jammy Regression] signing a changes file in gnome-terminal sends <Return> keys to the terminal Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is a regression not seen until this week (not seen until March 4 at least). Calling debsign from a terminal pops up the window to enter the key, but the terminal is sent continuous <Return> keys and the terminal scrolls down with empty input lines. You can still sign the file, however you end up with an empty scroll buffer if the signing takes too long time.
