When copying and pasting a multiline command to the terminal. I get weird extra lines and terminal errors that command was not valid.

In particular this is related to PowerShell (5 and 6 core)

Even function definitions that are complex also show errors

Here is a sample response from Powershell when pasting the function to the console window

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

However if I open the regular terminal window for Powershell, it works fine.
