This usually happens when the value of TERM environment variable is
incorrect. What do you get if you execute the following command?

    typeset -p TERM

In Windows Terminal and GNOME Terminal the correct output is this:

    export TERM=xterm-256color

If you are getting any other output, that's the problem.
