Unable to interract with the interactive prompts in shell

[akash07k]

Windows Terminal version

Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview version 1.15.2003.0

Windows build number

10.0.25182

Other Software

NVDA 2022.2 Stable and latest Alpha, WSL2

Steps to reproduce

1. Start NVDA.
2. Open windows terminal.
3. Open a shell (WSL can also be used)
4. now type sudo apt install exim4 openssl ca-certificates -y and press enter.
5. Now type sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
6. Interractive prompt will be launch which will ask some questions for configuring exim4.
7. Press the arrow keys and observe. (We are unable to know relyably that which option is got focused because the announcement of the focus is very much confusing)
8. Now switch to some other window by pressing ALT+Tab.
9. Come back to the terminal window and try to read via object nav commands. (Most of the times NVDA won't read anything).
10. Alternatively, timedatectl list-timezones can also be tried, this issue persists with every such prompt

Expected Behavior

Screen reader should announce the selected options properly.

Actual Behavior

Screen reader behaves very unrelyably on the interractive prompts and we can't determine properly that which item is focused.
Also, choosing the "OK" and "Cancel" options is very difficult.

This affects wt both with and without UIA notifications. I imagine this may be hard to solve/require a lot of thought as these are tough in any terminal.

Isn't this basically the same as #13666/?

[carlos-zamora]

Yeah, I'm gonna say this is a duplicate of #13666.
