TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by modifying the behavior of the Esc key to return to editing mode instead of discarding user input.

Guidance

• Review the code handling the Esc key press event to determine why it is currently discarding user input instead of returning to editing mode.
• Consider adding a check to preserve user input when the Esc key is pressed, allowing users to return to editing their feedback.
• Investigate the RangeError [ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER]: stdout maxBuffer length exceeded errors, as they may be related to the issue or indicate a separate problem that needs to be addressed.
• Verify that the feedback input field is properly configured to handle multiline input and that the Enter key is correctly handled to continue or cancel the feedback submission.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context, but the solution likely involves modifying event handlers for the Esc and Enter keys in the feedback input field.

Notes

The provided error logs indicate a separate issue with stdout maxBuffer length being exceeded, which may need to be addressed independently of the Esc key behavior.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround to modify the Esc key behavior to preserve user input and return to editing mode, as the root cause of the issue is likely related to the event handling of the Esc key press.
