Which macOS Terminal settings impact whether program output freezes terminal *input*?

Both myself and my colleague are running the following OSX version:

sw_versProductName:            macOSProductVersion:         14.6.1BuildVersion:           23G93

When we both run RpcExplorer against an internal endpoint, it prints some output and then our terminal behavior diverges.

  • On my terminal, RpcExplorer continues to accept input and function normally.
  • On his terminal, it appears that RpcExplorer is no longer receiving any input. Even Control+C is not passed to the process.

My suspicion is that certain output rendered by curses is causing the terminal to start capturing input and cease forwarding it to the process, but I am confused about why it only impacts his terminal and not mine.

Are there any terminal settings that might cause input suspension on certain program outputs?

Note that I am relatively certain that there is an input issue rather than an output issue, because I recompiled RpcExplorer with debugging statements to detect when input is read, and there is no input read after his terminal freezes.
