Tab completion fails with a specific sequence

See original GitHub issue

I have reported this issue on PSReadline, however it turns out it’s vanilla PS at fault. I have also created a GIF with keystrokes to show what the actual problem is.

It seems that certain sequences (ty to be precise) don’t complete as intended. They do so on the Linux 6.2.3 release, but they don’t on the Windows 7.0.0-Preview.5

Steps to reproduce

tabcomplete

Expected behavior

Tab complete the unambigous filename even when between t and y.

Actual behavior

Completion only happening on Linux.
