ArgumentOutOfRangeException in Integrated Console when entering long input lines that wrap

[clmcgrath]

-- 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.

-- ORIGINAL ISSUE --

An error occurred while reading input:

Thanks Chris! I'll take a look.

Looks like this only happens when the output exceeds the Console.BufferHeight and the user types a line longer than the Console.WindowWidth. PSReadline solves this problem by scrolling the buffer:

The cross-platform implementation of ScrollBuffer is here:

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/7a55bf98b2370ab4817ab2533cb67673053ee446/src/Microsoft.PowerShell.PSReadLine/ConsoleLib.cs#L1055

I'll implement the fix for this in June since it isn't a critical issue and only shows up in specific cases. Let me know if it is a big annoyance and I'll prioritize it sooner!

Does simply installing psreadline fix this because I have it installed unless the no profile switch added by vscode disables this

Nah, PSReadline doesn't work inside of the Integrated Console right now. Hoping to get that added in June.

Good to hear I miss it lol
