What shell are you using? cmd, powershell, pwsh (powershell core), some WSL shell like bash, zsh, fish...?

I was unable to repro this issue using cmd in Windows Terminal Preview 1.4.2652.0:

test-cmd

My prompt look different because I customized it using a bat file

Hi @alannt777, thanks for investigating. Is your length limit set artificially low? The input size limit needs to be reached for this bug to be reproduced; see step 2.

Here's how it looks on my setup:

Oops. I should have read the description properly. But I don't think anyone would use a command (and its arguments) that would be this long.

Interesting. CMD's line editor is actually part of the console host, so this issue is valid here. Thanks!
