try to upgrade :
Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -Force

Thanks @tonybounty it seems that upgrading PSReadLine fixed the issue for me. However, I had this problem in Windows Terminal, not in VSCode terminal.

[JoBrad]

This doesn't seem to correct the issue when using the terminal in VSCode. Is this the correct place to report those errors, as well?

[juhoheinonen]

Yeah, that's true, this thread is about VSCode, not Windows Terminal. Sorry for a bit misplaced comment, I just was thankful to find solution to my problem.

@jagdishrajan Sorry for not being able to get to this issue earlier. I know it's been a long time, but if it's possible, could you please answer a few questions below to help us investigate the exception?

1. Do you have a repro for this issue? (a series of operations that will trigger this exception consistently)
2. Can you run the following script to get some useful environment data?

& {
    $hostName = $Host.Name
    if ($hostName -eq "ConsoleHost" -and (Get-Command Get-CimInstance -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
        $id = $PID
        $inWindowsTerminal = $false
        while ($true) {
            $p = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Process -Filter "ProcessId Like $id"
            if (!$p -or !$p.Name) { break }
            if ($p.Name -eq "WindowsTerminal.exe") { $inWindowsTerminal = $true; break }
            $id = $p.ParentProcessId
        }
        if ($inWindowsTerminal) { $hostName += " (Windows Terminal)" }
    }

    "`nPS version: $($PSVersionTable.PSVersion)"
    $m = Get-Module PSReadline
    $v = $m.Version; $pre = $m.PrivateData.PSData.Prerelease
    if ($pre) { $v = "$v-$pre" }
    "PSReadline version: $v"
    if ($IsLinux -or $IsMacOS) {
        "os: $(uname -a)"
    } else {
        "os: $((dir $env:SystemRoot\System32\cmd.exe).VersionInfo.FileVersion)"
    }
    "PS file version: $($name = if ($PSVersionTable.PSEdition -eq "Core") { "pwsh.dll" } else { "powershell.exe" }; (dir $pshome\$name).VersionInfo.FileVersion)"
    "HostName: $hostName"
    "BufferWidth: $([console]::BufferWidth)"
    "BufferHeight: $([console]::BufferHeight)`n"
}

Thanks in advance for your help!

@daxian-dbw, here are the results of the script. To be honest I haven't seen the error in a while, so I assume it got fixed in one of the updates to VSCode, where I typically run PowerShell.

PS version: 7.0.3
PSReadline version: 2.0.2
os: 10.0.18362.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800)
PS file version: 7.0.3.0
HostName: Visual Studio Code Host
BufferWidth: 177
BufferHeight: 32

@jagdishrajan Thanks for sharing the environment data. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the exception with the Last 200 Keys shown in the exception report because I presume the output of the commands after pressing Enter also played a role since it changed the cursor top of the console.

Given that, I will close this issue for now. If you run into a similar exception in future, please kindly open another issue, with the exception output, environment data, and the repro steps (also a screenshot of the console right before the exception message if possible). That would be extremely helpful to our investigation. Thank you!
