Integrated powershell terminal keeps creating new lines after opened. #25875
Description
Type: Bug
Behaviour
After opened the integrated powershell terminal, it will keep creating new lines (just like keep pressing ENTER button on keyboard). It will not stop until trashing the terminal.
I don't really know if this is a bug or I misconfigured my computer. All I have found is that, switching off the terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled setting will eliminate this issue. I did other attempts, this problem will not reproduce when python extension is not installed, or open powershell directly in OS.
Although terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled is a Features->Terminal setting, with this setting on and python extension not installed, there was no such problem above. So I assumed this is a extension related problem, thus reported here.
Steps to reproduce:
- Make sure the
terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabledsetting is turned on. - Open the integrated terminal.
- Create a new powershell window.
- Observe what is happening.
Diagnostic data
Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)
There is no output for Python in the Output panel. I attached the terminal (the powershell window) output here instead. Screenshot is attached below

I am also having the same issue.

GDub (@gDub83) Hi, try to disable screen reader mode. And see if there's still a problem please.
DavidZHY commentedon Mar 24, 2026
Turning off the
screen reader modeis useful. The powershell window will be normal ifscreen reader modeis turned off. ReferenceOsbrain1991 commentedon Mar 28, 2026
Yes, this works for me.
