Could you provide some more details? I guess that you are using Windows, but which espflash version, which terminal ...

I've also seen this happen, mainly on connect and when the chip doesn't respond. I have to wait for it to timeout even if a spam Ctrl+C - not very helpful I know, but another data point at least.

We are using crossterm to catch this:
https://github.com/esp-rs/espflash/blob/main/espflash/src/cli/monitor/mod.rs#L115-L136

They have the most common terminals tested: https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm#tested-terminals. Not sure what we could do beside opening an issue upstream or switching the method we use

Could you try using Console Host as its a tested terminal from crossterm and see if the issue is also present?
