the windows terminal docs suggest putting the eval "$(oh-my-posh --init --shell bash --config ~/jandedobbeleer.omp.json)" line into ~/.profile instead of ~/.bashrc and that fixed it for me:

I had the same problem. I fixed it adding

eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

at the beginning of my .profile.

Then on my .bashrc I have

eval "$(oh-my-posh --init --shell bash --config ~/my.omp.json)"

Sorry for not responding. @SuriSureda your fix worked! Thanks. The only issue now which you may have had is that the bar is now broken up but only for the first line, hitting enter makes a new line that looks correct. Not a big issue but if its a small fix please let me know!
