Ctrl+a Ctrl+c throws an exception

I was just trying to figure out the new editing functionality in Win10 pressing Ctrl+anything, and got an exception. After a little more prodding around, it looks like this is almost always triggered by typing a few characters and then pressing Ctrl+a Ctrl+c.

I was given this message:

I believe I’ve fixed this now using retries like @rkeithhill suggested, see https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine/blob/fb10c6d9c3bb413aafdfe8073004b59d4a294535/PSReadLine/Clipboard.cs#L237. The fix is sitting in the ansi_render branch until I think it’s ready for release. You can build it yourself or grab a build out of appveyor.
