This is a problem with the implementation of the password prompt in GNOME Shell, rather than a polkit bug as such. The problem is that when you press Enter to run the pkexec command, the modal password prompt can pop up before you have released the key; then the terminal in the background doesn't get the key-release event, so it thinks the Enter key is still being held down. I think this is a GNOME 42 regression. Upstream are aware and are looking into it. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2194 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5242 upstream. smcv
