@MahmoodShehab, are you able to reproduce this? If so, can you offer any more clues, and supply the data returned from this script?

 & {
    "PS version: $($PSVersionTable.PSVersion)"
    $v = (Get-Module PSReadline).Version
    $m = Get-Content "$(Split-Path -Parent (Get-Module PSReadLine).Path)\PSReadLine.psd1" | Select-String "Prerelease = '(.*)'"
    if ($m) {
        $v = "$v-" + $m.Matches[0].Groups[1].Value
    }
    "PSReadline version: $v"
    if ($IsLinux -or $IsMacOS) {
        "os: $(uname -a)"
    } else {
        "os: $((dir $env:SystemRoot\System32\cmd.exe).VersionInfo.FileVersion)"
    }
    "PS file version: $($name = if ($PSVersionTable.PSEdition -eq "Core") { "pwsh.dll" } else { "powershell.exe" }; (dir $pshome\$name).VersionInfo.FileVersion)"
    "BufferWidth: $([console]::BufferWidth)"
    "BufferHeight: $([console]::BufferHeight)"
}

Thanks,

Possibly related to #991.

For me this issue exists in ConEmu for pwsh. Regular powershell is just fine in ConEmu. pwsh works just fine outside of ConEmu and can run the script above mentioned above. In ConEmu, I get "handle is invalid" error for that script.

Edit: Having re-installed it and doing "refresh tasks", I can open a new dialog in ConEmu. However, this error still presents itself when nested inside of another session. For example, if I open a powershell session and enter pwsh from there, I get this error. If I use Git bash, then pwsh, I get this error, etc.

I took a closer look today, and found the original issue reported here (Ctrl+l causes exception thrown from Console.SetWindowPosition) had already been fixed by #790, which changed the implementation of ClearScreen from using Console.ScrollBuffer, console.SetCursorPosition and console.SetWindowPosition to applying the escape sequence "0x1b[2J".

That change was included in 2.0.0-beta4 and newer versions, so for those who ran into this issue, please try out the latest 2.0.0-rc1 from PowerShell Gallery.

@dipakyadav The issue you report is different (exception thrown from PSConsoleReadLine.ReallyRender). There has been lots of fixes around ReallyRender since 2.0.0-beta5, and I believe the issue was fixed too. Please try out the 2.0.0-rc1 from PowerShell Gallery.

@WSLUser It's not clear to me what issue you ran into. It sounds to me that you had trouble running the script in #1011 (comment). If that's the case, please open a separate issue.
