Thanks for reporting the buggy experience.
For now never heard of before, also cannot reproduce myself (on openSUSE TW, with self-built konsolepart/qt5). Fellow KDE live chat member lainlives also tested on Fedora rawhide ("updated as of 30mins ago") as well as reported "seems to also work on 42 branch", so also could not reproduce.
By theory this would be some issue in the terminal feature provding "konsole kpart", as the keyboard input should not be filtered on okteta side (at least when it comes to arrow keys) when the terminal tool has focus. But before I shift the bug report to konsole maintainers, let's try a hint lainlives gave, that this could be an issue of the keyboard mapping selected.
So please tell what your configuration holds for the konsole kpart key bindings:
* open context menu on terminal tool in Okteta (e.g. right mouse button click in area)
* select "Edit Current Profile..."
* select "Keyboard" tab in the dialog
Which key binding schema is selected for you? Can you try another one and see if this changes your experience/makes the arrow keys work?

Created attachment 179097 [details] Context menu > There is no "Edit Current Profile..." entry in the context menu... This is how the context menu should look like (using konsole kpart of kde gear 23.08)? Can also be triggered by pressing the context menu button when the focus is in the terminal. For me that says create new profile, maybe because I am using the default, read-only profile...? Ah, I see. You could try to create a new profile then and then play with the key bindings. But not my domain, so have to pass this on to konsole maintainers now, hoping they can uncover the reason. The weird thing is that in Konsole but also other embedded like Dolphin and Kate this works without problems (though they are all Qt 6 AFAIK). I also tried with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb but that also made no difference 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.
