I'm not certain #495 will solve this. By necessity it will reuse the readline implementation we have, because it's cross-platform and its existing one is Windows native specific.

#495 does not address this issue. This issue is same as #461.

Oh, my understanding was that "host ~ readline". So
src/Microsoft.PowerShell.Linux.Host/readline.cswould stay? I then will start filling more usability bugs.andyleejordan commentedon Feb 21, 2016
sergei (@vors) #495 is porting the Nano host to Linux. However, it will really only replace
main.cs. Its UI implementation (the readline, ui, rawui, etc.) does not utilizeSystem.Console; instead it P/Invokes to Windows native APIs. So even after porting the Nano host... most of it will be replaced with what we already have.I still have reservations about "porting" the Nano host, because ours is already (seemingly) close to feature-parity. I'd like to determine what managed code only features are available in the Nano that we don't have, before deciding which host to use as the primary one.

This is really similar to #484 as well.

This has been fixed upstream in dotnet/corefx#6488. Waiting to integrate changes.
