Environment

Windows build number:  10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1402.0 (Preview from Store)
Locale: ENG language, DE keyboard (German)

Any other software?
Powershell Core 7.0.1, 7.1.0-preview.3

Steps to reproduce

Having a german keyboard, open PowerShell Core in Windows Terminal. Start with e.g. Get-, then Ctrl+Space.

Also, do the same for normal Windows Powershell 5.1.xxx

Expected behavior

The autocomplete Menu as it works in normal Powershell terminal shows up.

Actual behavior

In PS Core: double quote character is typed
In PS: nothing happens, but apparently, the terminal (? console host?) is registering something, as if i repeat it rapidly, the cursor does not blink but stays until i stop
(In WSL, also nothing happens, also registers something)
