[mac] Cannot type special characters in terminal

[jrieken]

re #168804

• mac
• open text editor
• press and hold e
• and e is inserted and get a picker for its variants like è, é, etc
• open a terminal
• press and hold e
• 😕 many e are inserted
• 😕 the variant picker shows but at a "random" location
• 😕 the variant picker doesn't work, e.g pressing 2 doesn't replace the typed character with that variant

I also experience(d) this from time to time. In my case, restarting the computer has resolved this.

This has nothing to do with VS Code or xterm.js but macOS itself.
