Originally created by @BenConstable9 on GitHub (Feb 11, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.592]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.8.10261.0

Steps to reproduce

Hard to reproduce as only occasionally happens.

Expected behavior

The characters should be deleted from the input command.

Actual behavior

When backspacing after typing an input command, characters stay in the command input but do not seem to affect the command. Rogue characters (normally the first character of the previous command typed), will linger on the UI but do not appear to have any effect on a command typed afterwards.
