After some more tests I can limit the problem to OE_TERMINAL="tmux". Other terminals like screen or xterm work well.

Installed tmux version after distro upgrade is:

# rpm -q -i tmux

Summary     : Terminal multiplexer
Description :
tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals (or windows),
each running a separate program, to be created, accessed, and controlled from a
single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the
background, then later reattached. tmux is intended to be a modern,
BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.

tmux uses a client-server model. The server holds multiple sessions and each
window is a independent entity which may be freely linked to multiple sessions,
moved between sessions and otherwise manipulated. Each session may be attached
to (display and accept keyboard input from) multiple clients.
Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.0
