Description

Output from azd version

azd version 1.18.2 (commit a7b2bdc861f0616438327854f11169a08fdfec96)

Describe the bug
When running azd extension prompts (e.g. azd dev init), the up/down arrow keys do not work in the selection menus. This prevents selecting Python (or other options) in the interactive prompt.

The issue seems terminal-specific:

  • Not working in: Ghostty
  • Working in: iTerm2

To Reproduce

  • Open Ghostty terminal on macOS 15.6.1
  • Run azd dev init with an extension that asks for language selection
  • Try to navigate with the up/down arrows

Expected behavior
Arrow keys should allow selecting options (e.g. Python) in the interactive prompt.

Environment

  • OS: macOS 15.6.1 (24G90)
  • Terminal: Ghostty 1.1.2 Build 9416 Commit ee963f62

Additional context
Issue does not reproduce in iTerm2.
