Windows Terminal version

1.16.10261.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Copy code snippet with multiple lines of code (code used)
  2. Ensure window height is small enough to require scrolling after pasting code
  3. Paste code snippet into terminal

Expected Behavior

Code is pasted without error and terminal ready for next input

Actual Behavior

Code is repeatedly cut off at various points, producing multiple variations of the same error, before finally working as expected.

One variation of error message produced:

Oops, something went wrong.  Please report this bug with the details below.

This looks like a https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine issue. Specifically I'm thinking https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/1306. From their repo:

This issue was already fixed (see https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine#1306). Please upgrade to the 2.2.6 version of PSReadLine from PowerShell Gallery. See the upgrading section for instructions. Please let us know if you run into the same issue with the latest version.

Does updating psreadline work/?
