When I intercept a request, edit the response body and return to the app, I’m finding that everything is now unresponsive and no commands work anymore.

I’ve tried with:

```
EDITOR=emacsclient
EDITOR=vi

```

And neither bring get me back to a working mitmproxy. Any thoughts?

Edit, raised as issue on GH: [https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/issues/2915](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/issues/2915)  
Edit 2, works perfectly from source, rather than one of the releases from Github.
