[Error] Terminal works abnormally with el7/e8 #1830
Description
Describe the bug
This happens to el7/el8, but no problem with el9.
After enter the container, keys work strangely. Arrow keys don't move, ctrl-c will just terminate the distrobox session.
Peek.2025-08-28.09-07.mp4
But it works fine by using podman exec -it access the same container.
To Reproduce
distrobox create -i docker.io/almalinux/8-init --init --name alma8
distrobox enter alma8
Expected behavior
Key inputs should work normally.
