VSCode Terminal erroneously duplicates output of text-expander app's expanded text upon me entering a text macro

See original GitHub issue

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

VS Code Version: Version: 1.62.3 Commit: ccbaa2d27e38e5afa3e5c21c1c7bef4657064247 Date: 2021-11-17T07:59:13.865Z Electron: 13.5.2 Chrome: 91.0.4472.164 Node.js: 14.16.0 V8: 9.1.269.39-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 20.4.0
OS Version: Mac OS Big Sur 11.3 (20E232)

Steps to Reproduce:

Download espanso or use another text expander app
Configure a keyboard shortcut & text to expand into, such as for me, my git commit text. Shortcut: ;gc Expanded text: git commit -m ''
Go into vscode. Open terminal. Enter the text shortcut.
The result, in VS Code Terminal: git commit -m ''git commit -m '' (as you can see, it duplicates the text)
Try the same thing in a text editor, iterm2, or the browser-- you’ll see only one unit of the expanded text rather than VS Code Terminal’s buggy duplication of the text into two units of the same text.

Hey all, just had a great surprise! 🎉🎉

My VSCode updated to January 2022’s version and I don’t get the duplicated expansion any longer!

I’m on February (1.65) and still experiencing this issue.

Edit: Looks like this reply on the espanso thread has a solution, at least it worked for me.

PS: Thanks maintainers/contributors for your awesome work on this project!
