@tLXvGt

Steps to reproduce

Run:
function prompt { "Hello, World`r`nHi> " }

Expected behavior

On Windows PowerShell correctly prompts me with 2 lines:

Hello, World
Hi> [cursor]

I can write anything and prompt will stay the same.

Actual behavior

On macOS PowerShell correctly prompts me with 2 lines:

Hello, World
Hi> [cursor]

However, when I press any key prompt copies first line into second one and prompt looks like this:

Hello, World
Hell[cursor]
