Describe the bug

When starting commands such as vite dev or next dev from nr, the terminal input may be corrupted when exiting. The following is a reproduction of what happens in each environment when using vite dev.

The problem doesn't occur with npm run dev, so I'm thinking it might be an nr issue.

  1. Create a vite project with npm create, perform npm install
  2. Use npm run dev in windows terminal and exit with Ctrl+C, Y, Enter
    • No problem.
  3. Use npm run dev in windows terminal and exit with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+C
    • No problem.
  4. Use nr dev in windows terminal and exit with Ctrl+C, Y, Enter
    • Nothing will be displayed, but if you press Enter several times it will return to normal.
  5. Use nr dev in windows terminal and exit with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+C
    • ^C is displayed. Then press Enter and it will go back to normal.
  6. In the vscode integrated terminal, use npm run dev and exit with Ctrl+C, Y, Enter
    • No problem.
  7. In the vscode integrated terminal, use npm run dev and exit with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+C
    • No problem.
  8. In the vscode integrated terminal, use nr dev and exit with Ctrl+C, Y, Enter
    • Nothing will be displayed, but if you press Enter several times it will return to normal.
  9. In the vscode integrated terminal, use nr dev and exit with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+C
    • ^C is displayed. Even if you press Enter, it doesn't seem to be finished yet, so press Ctrl+C again. It looks like it's finished, but my keystrokes only respond once in two until I close the terminal. It is extremely painful.

In writing this issue, I found a workaround. Press Ctrl+C and after "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" is displayed, press Ctrl+C three times. The message continues to remain on the screen, but I was able to avoid a situation where I could not type it.

Reproduction

In the vscode integrated terminal, use nr dev and exit with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+C
