PowerShell in Windows BASH display issues

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

I just want this to be noted. I see some interest with Windows 10 include BASH. I try to run PowerShell in Windows Bash cmd. I installed it using the Ubuntu version 14.04.

$ sudo apt-get install libunwind8 $ sudo apt-get install libicu52 $ cd Downloads $ sudo dpkg -i powershell_6.0.0-alpha.8-1_amd64-ubuntu.14.04-x64.deb

poshbash_01

poshbash_02

Commands seem to execute but the screen refresh after running the command won’t clear. Also, when you start typing, the prompt is gone and start typing at the top of the screen.

Expected behavior

Normal console behavior after running command the return to the next line of the prompt

Actual behavior

See attached images.

The conhost guys took a look - they think #1877 might be contributing the problem. I’m working of changing the rendering for multiple reasons, hopefully they’re right and my changes will just fix it.

Alpha code running correctly on top of Beta code, eh? You expect a lot. 😃 I can’t even get a simple ASP.NET Core app (default web template) to run correctly in WSL.
