'Phantom' symbols after some commands (exit, clear) in the PowerShell running on MacOS

[GeorgiiZagladin]

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.
• Refer to the FAQ.
• Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

• MacOS Ventura v. 13.5
• Open any shell (zsh, bash, fish)
• Install the latest stable version via brew (brew install --cask powershell)
• Run pwsh script
• Try to print exit, or clear or l symbols.

Expected behavior

Nothing more is visible after the printed symbols.

Actual behavior

After the command text, there will be 'phantom' symbols like

PS /Users/georgiizagladin> clear1;33R
PS /Users/georgiizagladin> exit3;32R
PS /Users/georgiizagladin> l7;35Re7;41Ra7;47Rr7;53R

However, these symbols are not blocking the execution of the command (you may finish the command, for example, print 'clear', press 'enter' key, and the log will be cleared)

'1;33R' and '3;32R' looks like the coordinates of the pointer in the terminal window.

Error details

Nothing is printed out.

Hmm I am on the same OS and am unable to reproduce this, can you check what is in your PSREadLine history file, you can get the location by running Get-PSReadLineOption | select HistorySavePath. I suggest clearing that and seeing if that resolves the issue.

Hello @StevenBucher98, yes, I found that file it contained all the commands history. I cleared everything from this file, and the error disappeared. Now there are no more additional symbols at the end of a command. Do you know why it works?

[StevenBucher98]

I am not sure how you got the phantom symbols to begin with, since they were in the history file, history predictor automatically tries to suggest a command based on what you have executed perviously. If you'd like to disable this behavior you can run Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource None.

Thank you for your explanation.
