dotnet run doesn't echo Console.ReadLine() as typed and doesn't show colours

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Run a console app that uses Console.ReadLine() and changes Console.ForegroundColor, with dotnet run.

Expected behavior

Should behave the same as running via dotnet MyApp.dll, echoing input as typed and showing colours.

Actual behavior

Doesn’t show console input until a newline is typed and all text is monochrome.

Tested on zsh and bash on OS X 10.11.5.
