Exception report

I encountered an error while trying to run a Python script from the PowerShell command line using python -u. When I provided the script path (located at "C:\Users\gaura\OneDrive\Documents\Python\tutorial.py"), PSReadLine malfunctioned.

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The value must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the console's buffer size in that dimension.
Parameter name: left
Actual value was -2.
