Bat failed in powershell when press Ctrl+C

[HzFrancesca]

What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. open powershell 7.5.0 in windows terminal
2. use bat check a file which will call less
3. press Ctrl+C

What happens?

The interface is stuck. so i can only open a new terminal

What did you expect to happen instead?

I attempted to just use less , and although it doesn’t exit with Ctrl+C, I can still quit normally using ‘q’ after trying Ctrl+C.

Therefore, should bat behave like less?

By that, I mean bat functions correctly, but the issue arises when I press Ctrl+C.

How did you install bat?

scoop install less
scoop install bat

Or maybe there's something wrong with my Windows?

Thank you so much.

Interesting, does the same thing happen if you use less to view a file directly?

I trid less '.\TheMissingSemester_L11_Q&A.md' and I can still quit normally using ‘q’ after trying Ctrl+C.

but if i use bat '.\TheMissingSemester_L11_Q&A.md' , and the interface will be stuck after trying Ctrl+C.
