ArgumentOutOfRangeException in Integrated Console when entering long input lines that wrap

– EDIT FROM THE MAINTAINERS –

The PowerShell Preview extension has PSReadLine support and should resolve this issue. If you’re experiencing this, please give the preview extension a try. We’ve committed to delivering this fix in the stable extension release in January 2020.

An error occurred while reading input:

@skeeler due to .NET Core 3.0 overhauling their Console APIs, we are going to wait til after PowerShell 7 GA ships to move what is in preview into stable.

The next preview will contain a huge refactor of the codebase that includes some perf/stability fixes. We will then address outstanding issues at that point until 7 is released.

Just chiming in a little in case y’all might want to let the fix slip. Still impacted by this right now, and rather missing Powershell ISE.
