how to do with this problem?

[MrKriss]

I'm running Windows 10 and encountered very similar problem to this and #522. I found that the underlying cause was #436, as once I implemented the suggested fix this issue went away.

I seem to have the same issue, but modifying autojump_match.py like in https://github.com/wting/autojump/issues/434 didn't solve it for me.

Perhaps it is due to something else? ; I've now noticed that opening bash via cmder, I get an error message related to Python

C:\Users\Ad\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python37\site-packages\win_unicode_console\__init__.py:31: RuntimeWarning: sys.stdin.encoding == 'utf-8', whereas sys.stdout.encoding == 'cp65001', readline hook consumer may assume they are the same
  readline_hook.enable(use_pyreadline=use_pyreadline)

This doesnt happen in any other terminal, nor in git-bash, which uses mintty.
