Screenshot

I am afraid that I closed the relevant terminal window and that thus far I have been unable to reproduce the bug.

Environment data

PS Version: 5.1.19041.5737
PS HostName: ConsoleHost (Windows Terminal)
PSReadLine Version: 2.0.0-beta2
PSReadLine EditMode: Windows
OS: 10.0.19041.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800)
BufferWidth: 120
BufferHeight: 30

Steps to reproduce

Unknown. Seemingly though the problem occurs upon some (which?) instances of either: pressing the up arrow, on its own, so as to paste the last command from the buffer; pressing ctrl-alt-upArrow, which is a keyboard shortcut that I have assigned, using the program Autohotkey, to maximise the current window. The problem occurred - it has occurred only once - a second or two after I first opened a terminal window (but I have tried and failed to reproduce the exact, error-giving, scenario.)

Expected behavior

No exception.

Actual behavior

Exception.

This form seems to need an 'other information' field. For, I want to add the following.

Cf. #4588
Cf. #4599.
Cf. #4585?
Cf. #4682?

But, ah: the problem seems to be the one documented here. Might that account of the problem be made more visible somehow? Perhaps you should even make the installer for the Windows Terminal ensure that a recent version of 'PSReadLine' is installed.

I have installed the latest stable version of PSReadLine by following these instructions. I shall see whether the problem reoccurs.
