After cygwin 3.2 update windows terminal input is sometimes broken

After cygwin 3.2 update windows terminal input is sometimes broken

[Tomas Tumelionis]

Been using windows terminal preview (this is still actual with current
latest version 1.9) and after cygwin 3.2 update windows terminal input is
broken after:
* splitting pane
* moving terminal window to other window
* sleeping pc
This means that if I open the terminal and split pane, I can not enter text
into the previous pane forever.

    Does the cygwin terminal still work?  Seems like you are reporting
a Windows problem in cygwin.  What does cygwin have to do with
a windows terminal -- it doesn't use cygwin at all, does it?  So
how does an update in cygwin cause a windows problem?

    You realize MS update your Terminal preview's OS almost daily, most
the time without you realizing it.  It's more likely they broke
it at the same time cygwin had an update, than something in cygwin
affecting Win10...

    If they have a version of the Terminal preview that runs on
Win7, though, I'll be happy to have a look at the problem... ;-)

Sorry for the vague description. After recreating all my current
configuration from scratch I've found that it is only with  oh my zsh
default theme - robbyrussell - I am facing the issue. Well atleast with my
version of zsh+cygwin+windows terminal. Changing the theme made everything
work again and splitting windows terminal pane did not make input stuck. To
be exact, window resize is the root problem. This kinda points towards the
windows terminal issue, but with previous versions of stack
(cygwin+zsh+ohhmyzsh) it did work ok. Leaving appropriate github issues,
maybe someone will be able to provide more insights:
ohhmyzsh - https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/issues/9953
windows terminal - https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10091

My stack:
Terminal: windows terminal preview <https://github.com/microsoft/terminal>
 1.9
Cygwin: CYGWIN_NT-10.0 LAT-5F3FMQ2 3.2.0(0.340/5/3) 2021-03-29 08:42 x86_64
Cygwin
Shell: zsh 5.8 + oh my zsh (706b2f3) + theme robbyrussell (default)
Windows version: 10.0.19043 N/A Build 19043

I get accused of being too vague all the time.

Glad you narrowed down the problem. Good job!
Have fun!
