Hello Spencer, thanks for the report. This is pretty common with programs that provide a more "interactive" experience. There's two tools that can help recover from this, reset(1) and stty(1). When this happens, run:
reset or stty sane Both should fix this specific case. But sometimes one or the other one is required to fix your terminal, so it's helpful to know both of them.
