2 months ago I can reproduce this. From micro's code I see that the Press enter to close message actually indicates that an error occurred. So this message seems misleading, and moreover, it doesn't tell us which error occurred.
I've instrumented the code so it says which error is it:
diff --git a/internal/shell/terminal.go b/internal/shell/terminal.go

}and I can see the error is:
Press enter to close: read /dev/ptmx: input/output error RunTermEmulator() uses the https://github.com/zyedidia/terminal library, which opens /dev/ptmx using the https://github.com/creack/pty library, and reads characters from it. Apparently, when finishing running the fzf job, reading from /dev/ptmx fails with EIO for some reason.
We can try to debug it further.
Quick googling: https://www.google.com/search?q=%2Fdev%2Fptmx+eio
finds some possibly useful links:
When using the fzf plugin to open a file the plugin displays an annoying "Press enter to close" message before closing the internal terminal. The fzf plugin uses the "RunTermEmulator" function with the "wait" flag set to "false" which I assume it should make it close the internal terminal immediately but instead displays a message that says "Press enter to close" before closing.
