Environment data

PS Version: 7.4.2
PS HostName: ConsoleHost
PSReadLine Version: 2.3.5
PSReadLine EditMode: Windows
OS: 10.0.22621.2860 (WinBuild.160101.0800)
BufferWidth: 120
BufferHeight: 9001

Steps to reproduce

  1. open powershell
  2. write this:
 (Get-PSReadLineOption).HistorySavePath = $null
  1. either write a command and press enter, or press up arrow

Expected behavior

all keystrokes you press appear on the "last X keystrokes:" part, and a big text that re-appears for each command that is run, and sometimes you need to press enter twice for the command to get run

Actual behavior

it happend each time i tried it, powershell goes back to normal if you restart the session, but if you start a separate session while the glitched one is running the separate session is normal, and the glitched one stays glitched, and the double enter keypress behavior is needed for commands to run
