Steps to Reproduce:

- zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions (NB: see all my dotfiles here)
- complete an autosuggestion and then backspace

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: No - i have the same dotfiles locally and it's fine Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: Not sure
I'm having the exact same issue. I've turned off local echo and will update this ticket if I encounter this issue again, so if I haven't posted again in a few weeks, terminal.integrated.localEchoEnabled: off probably fixes it.
Disabling local echo also worked for me, thanks.
EDIT: Only works for the first terminal, if I open another (2 terminals open), the second one still has the problem :cry:
I've had to turn on terminal.integrated.localEchoEnabled back on because on Windows -> WSL -> Docker, the latency grows with uptime and the term can become unusable without local echo.
With the newer versions of VSCode, I've found that local echo will correct itself if you wait for the roundtrip, and if it gets stuck, you can force it to update reliably without losing the line by sending ^L/Ctrl+L/Line Feed.
It's a lot more usable. But it's still frequently moving the wrong number of charachters if you hold a key like backspace or the left arrow.
