Windows Terminal v1.21.2701.0 has been released with bug patches, many of which were backported from Canary and are included with the 1.22 Preview servicing update. The update fixes a hanging issue in Windows 11 23H2, allowing users to resume sleep mode or unlock their display.

The updates include the ability to use multiple Emoji at once on Windows 10, the prevention of command insertion from history, the updating of localizations, the improvement of focus transfer to windows created by hosted console programs, and the enhancement of accessibility. The settings UI now responds more accurately to system-wide text scaling options, and the color contrast of the "reset" button on the settings page has been improved. Furthermore, Terminal Emulation and Console Compatibility have been enhanced, with replies larger than 4kb no longer garbled.

Windows Terminal v1.21.2701.0

Bug fixes! Bug fixes for all! Many of these were backported from Canary, and are also being released with the 1.22 Preview servicing update.

Note

We have encountered a pretty annoying hanging issue on Windows 11 23H2, for which we have paused the rollout of Terminal 1.21 Stable.
If you encounter a hang when resuming from sleep mode or unlocking your display, sorry! Relief is coming in the form of a Windows Update.

Changes

• Alt+Keypad Plus is no longer eaten unless EnableHexNumpad is enabled in the registry ( #17954)
• You can now configure the default input scope for the IME with an option on the Startup page or the JSON key defaultInputScope (enum default (default), alphanumericHalfWidth); this should allow you to force Terminal to accept English input even if you usually type in a different language ( #17953)

Bug Fixes

• You can now successfully input more than one Emoji at once on Windows 10 ( #17213)
• In cmd and python (and other users of console line input), choosing a command from history will no longer insert it back into history a second time ( #17852)
• Some localizations have been updated for correctness ( #17958)
• Terminal has gotten much better about transferring focus to windows spawned by (and under, or above) hosted console applications ( #17828)
• The search box will no longer cover up search results in the top right (unless there's nowhere to scroll) ( #17516) (thanks  @e82eric!)
• We will try much harder to keep your scroll position from changing when you have the search box open but are not looking at the results ( #17885) ( #17316)

Accessibility

• The settings UI now responds more correctly to the systemwide text scaling setting ( #17910)
• We've fixed the color contrast of the "reset" button in the settings page ( #17912)

Terminal Emulation and Console Compatibility

• ConPTY: responses longer than 4kb will no longer be corrupted ( #17738) (thanks  @j4james!)

Reliability

• Closing split panes should crash roughly 50% less often ( #17886)
• The experience of typing in and searching for multiple fonts has been (questionably?) improved ( #17961)
• We should no longer crash while quitting ( #17848)
