When pasting

gci `
C:\test\ `
| select name

into windows powershell or powershell core in windows console, I get expected results. If I try to paste and run any command with >1 line continuation it fails.

As a user, I would expect windows terminal powershell to behave exactly the same as the legacy console powershell.
