eraseLine fails with OverflowError on Windows 10

[Feinbube]

I encountered this error when I tried to install Nim on Windows 10 using choosenim.

Original Error:

Minimal example to reproduce:

import terminal
eraseLine()

Error:

@Feinbube
Try to replace ht * wt to wt in the eraseLine proc.

This is a known issue and has been fixed in devel IIRC

(Will be fixed in next choosenim)

@dom96
No, is not fixed.

Maybe to begin to check code before closing a issue?
Implementation isn't correct!
