After watching the recording of yours, it seems you have the behavior as
me. (You don't see the echoed test either, also your cwd is reset to ~
when you hit Ctrl-O). That is the issues 2-3 as described in my original
letter, and I believe you would hit 1 as well.

From mi's comments it seems like 1,2 are WIT, or at least impossible to
solve without a proper terminal emulator.

No. 3 (the cwd being lost), I hope could be improved, at least under
a toggle in settings to preserve old behavior if it's needed.

Could it be done, that if a command is started running in /a, and the
user navigates to /b in panels, hits Ctrl-O twice to check the terminal,
the /b is preserved? That is, the panels remember the cwd and it's only
propagated to the subshell after the command has completed?
