Most probably a duplicate of #132439?

This is fixed since 3.14 beta 1 and also backported to 3.13 and will be in the upcoming 3.13.4.

If you can't/want downgrade to 3.13.2 or upgrade to a beta of 3.14, you can disable the new REPL using the environment variable PYTHON_BASIC_REPL=1.

Yes, seems to be a duplicate. I couldn't find any report with keywords i tried. I'll close this and assume it will lead some other people to the correct report.
