Hi Marc,

I am able to reproduce the problem. But it is most likely because of the warning below. I'm checking if we can fix this.

WARNING: Console code page (437) differs from Windows code page (1252)
         8-bit characters might not work correctly. See psql reference
         page "Notes for Windows users" for detail

I installed pgAdmin 9.8 on Windows 10 to teach a class. the query tool, etc. seem to work well, but plsql tool shows a strange message, and commands like \d seem to hang

Type "help" for help.

When I type '\d', only the '\' shows until I hit return, but execution only starts after I hit return for the second time.

Standard plsql works fine.

For the purpose of teaching novices pgAdmin/Postgresql 18 it would be nice if I could use plsql in the context of pgAdmin - which used to work.

Thanks for thelp, Marc
