Upgrading, pacman -Suy twice solved my issue.

Well, apparently, the ESC at the beginning of a command is OK. Now I type several spaces, the ESC while testing, and then the shell freezes. This is OK behavior if you need to handle ESC for escape terminal sequences. I do know that many terminal sequences can probably be typed at the command, line. It would be nice to have ESC cancel the command previously typed, like PowerShell and CommandPrompt, but there's probably some reason why you haven't implemented that. Or at least, wipe out spaces previously typed.

Well, the bug is back now!

Again, it could be in a variety of places, Windows Terminal, Git for Windows, or Git Bash. As far as I know, my Msys2 MINGW x64 is working

Also, my msys msys terminal is working okay. So, this only seems to be a problem under MINGW64/WindowsTerminal/GitBash. There's no problem with MINGW64/Msys2 or WSL2 Ubuntu 24, except for slow input response. I don't type very fast.
