Cannot type anything after Ctrl-C

[sryze]

After you interrupt a command with Ctrl-C in Bash, you can't see what you type into the terminal - it won't display your input. But if you hit Enter, the commands are executed.

This only happens to me when using Bash with Powerline (inside tmux).

OS: Ubuntu 21.10

I can confirm that typing reset does help in this situation.
Thanks for the tip @sahilrajput03.

I wish there could be a better solution for this instead of having to reset the bash every time it happens.

And its not related to powerline, I am using kitty terminal and it happens with this as well.

Earlier I was using xfce-terminal and it used to happen with that as well.

I wonder if this is a bash bug. Does it happen with other shells?

Curently I am using urxvt which is default in manjaro-i3 and it sometimes happens with this too, I have made an alias of r as reset command and I am used to using r command to reset the terminal quickly all the time now. :)

It does appear to be Bash-specific because I've been using ZSH for the last few days (with powerline as well) and haven't experienced this bug yet.

There is a different problem with ZSH: sometimes if you interrupt a command, the blinking cursor disappears. Maybe it's related.
