I think I may have causing this, by not prefixing my "conda install ..." command with "winpty".
When I do that, things seem to work just fine.

(I'm using the MINGW64 Bash shell installed, as part of the Git for Windows application.)

I am experiencing the same issue with bash on windows.

@capn-freako thanks for the workaround using winpty - it works for me too 👍
