Plugin output written to TUI as ghost text #2207
Description
I had a typo in a plugin command (using $ for shell command) and was surprised the error was directly written to the TUI message input line. It ended up in a weird broken state due to this (shadow characters which wouldn't go away).
I would expect STDIN/STDERR to be sent in some kind of notification if anywhere instead of written as ghost text in the message input.
Currently adding &>/dev/null to ignore all output to avoid this, though it'd be nice for unexpected output to be surfaced in a nicer way.

That doesn't look like plugin STDIN/STDERR; more just theming issues. Sounds like OpenTUI is likely to fix stuff like that though. (And presumably OP too)

+1. Not only error outputs breaks TUI and the whole session. When user's input of any kind is required it's also breaks. Like when you asked to enter sudo password.
