Ghost symbols added to terminal commands causing them to fail

[pilkjaer]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Not sure

VS Code version: Code 1.75.1 (441438a, 2023-02-08T21:32:34.589Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19044
Modes:
Sandboxed: Yes
Remote OS version: Linux x64 3.10.0-1160.81.1.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Type in command in the terminal
2. Sometimes observe the error despite text in the terminal being correct.

This error happens several times per day and rather noticeable. Not sure if it's related to Swedish layout of the keyboard that I use.

Sometimes when typing commands in the terminal there are some ghost symbols being added that are not being displayed. I don't know where they come from. I use ssh connection to a Linux server and commands in the terminal are being executed there.

Here is an example of running git pull command in the terminal when logged in via ssh to my remote server:

$ git pull     
git: 'puöll' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

$ git pull
git: 'pu�ll' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
        pull

$ git pull
remote: Counting objects: 1705, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (688/688)

I still have this issue and I experience it daily. I have Swedish keyboard layout active as default and I use SSH to my server. I wonder is that has something to do with it?
