PSReadLine: 7.0.0-preview.2 PSReadLine stops working after Get-Help or other commands
Overview
Certain (possibly just full-screen overlayed) commands or operations cause PSReadLine to stop working afterwards, and in some cases, for the console (process) to become completely unresponsive.
I have a reliable reproduction below, although it only reproduces one aspect of the problem I’ve surfaced (I don’t have a reliable repro for the console becoming unresponsive).
Steps to reproduce
pwsh-preview -NoProfile
help Get-Alias
(press 'q' to quit)
(press Up-Arrow / Down-Arrow to cycle through history)
Expected behavior
History is cycled
Actual behavior
History is not cycled / input sometimes unresponsive

The fix was included in .NET Core RC1 and available with 7.0.0-preview.4
This looks like a regression in .NET Core 3.0. Using 6.2.1 w/ same PSReadLine doesn’t repro. I’ll have to see about getting them a simpler repro.
I can repro this easily. Doing a
clsto clear the screen seems to make it work again.Just checked that the .NET Core fix is not included in .NET Core Preview 9.
