Bug report
Bug description:
>>> input("a\nb: ")
a
a
a
a
a
a
a
a
b: 1111111
'1111111'When the input prompt has 1 or more newline characters, the text preceding the last \n is printed again when a character is typed in by the user. Every subsequent character typed in by the user after the second also leads to text preceding the last \n to be reprinted. (i.e., 2 characters inputted -> prompt repeated 1 time, 3 characters inputted -> prompt repeated 2 times, etc.)
This does not occur on 3.12, only 3.13+, and only on the REPL, not when running a script.
A similar issue also occurs when using \t in the input prompt:
>>> input("a\t:")
a a :b
'b'This is slightly different from the newline case - the text is repeated only once regardless of the number of characters in the input.
