    Thanks for the capture. Unfortunately, this appears to be a bug in GEdit. :frowning:The issue is that GEdit is sending a CSI c (Device Attributes request), but does not actually parse the response. It will break under other terminals as well, especially VT220 and higher terminals that support advanced features such as ReGIS, Sixel, Technical characters, Selective Erase, etc.The best suggestion I have if you want to run GEdit is to modify the binary to not send that sequence... possibly replacing the \x1b\x5b\x63 sequence with three NULs. This may not work if the binary has "anti-hacking" features though.
