That looks like a duplicate of bug#24837 which we resolved in 26.1.

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24837

*** 'term-char-mode' now makes its buffer read-only.
The buffer is made read-only to prevent changes from being made by
anything other than the process filter; and movements of point away
from the process mark are counter-acted so that the cursor is in the
correct position after each command.  This is needed to avoid states
which are inconsistent with the state of the terminal understood by
the inferior process.

New user options 'term-char-mode-buffer-read-only' and
'term-char-mode-point-at-process-mark' control these behaviors, and
are non-nil by default.  Customize these options to nil if you want
the previous behavior.
