"Move commit down one" sometimes opens Diff files section

[lobneroO]

Describe the bug

When in the [4] - Commits pannel, Ctrl + j should move the current commit down by one commit in the history. I have used this multiple times, but sometimes I run into the isse of this opening "Diff files" in the space of the Commits section.
I'm pretty sure this is constant when I'm opening LazyGit inside Neovim with the LazyGit plugin, but usually quitting out of Neovim and then opening LazyGit by itself worked. Now however I ran into this again with LazyGit open inside a Zellij tab, which makes this very annoying. Quitting out of Zellij, just opening LazyGit in git-bash then solved the issue.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open git-bash on Windows, open Zellij in that git-bash
2. Open lazygit in a repository, move to the Commits section
3. Use "Ctrl+j" to move the current commit down by one --> Diff files opens
4. Quit out of LazyGit and Zellij, stay in git-bash
5. Move to the same repository, reopen LazyGit (but not Zellij), go to the Commits section
6. Use "Ctlr+j" to move the current commit down by one --> works

Expected behavior

Ctrl+j always moves the current commit down by one, never opens Diff ifles

Just to clarify: Your Terminal info section says Windows Terminal, but above you say "Open git-bash on Windows", which sounds to me like you are using the MinTTY terminal that comes with Git-for-Windows. Which of these is true?

If it's the latter, can you please test with Windows Terminal instead? It has much better support for the newer terminal protocols that lazygit uses. Related discussion: #5432 (comment)

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I use Windows-Terminal and I have git-bash integrated into that. When you install git on Windows, you get the option to add a profile for that into Windows Terminal.

I just checked this on my Linux machine, it's not an issue there (Arch Linux, Konsole 25.12.3 + Zellij 0.44.1).
