Hi @Smurf-IV,

The terminal can still be used. The problem is unfortunately by design. The app is built as a Windows App which runs on a separate thread to the Console. Once run, it detaches and returns control back to the Console. However, it still does write messages to it.

As a workaround, simply let it run its course then interact with the prompt. It’s not a fix by any stretch, but just explains why it’s happening.

I’m working on addressing this, but it is a big change, and requires splitting the codebase up significantly.
