Environment

Windows build number: Windows 10X build 19553
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.8.3521.0

Steps to reproduce

I launched the Windows Terminal Universal (Preview) app, and as it launched I started typing, beginning with the letters "cm".

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

The first thing the Terminal displayed was

M:\windows\system32>cmcls
'cmcls' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Evidently Terminal likes to start things off with a "cls" to clear the screen, but if you type too early, your input gets concatenated with the secret cls command.

Set to me to reject input processing until after I'm done with the secret wink-nudge.

And by reject, I mean... buffer it until I'm done. Not reject it straight up. The one that makes sense.
