shell mode on windows sometimes corrupt the terminal state

[KristofferC]

repo ;ls in windows REPL.

Seems to work on 0.6.2. Can anyone repro?

Successfully reproduced, is this the ls from Git?

Seems to happen with all the utils shipped with Git for Windows:

Perhaps we should add a

write(terminal, "\033c") (reset the terminal state)

in the beginning of

julia/stdlib/REPL/src/LineEdit.jl

Lines 1180 to 1185 in ef9168a

	function write_prompt(terminal, p::Prompt)
	prefix = prompt_string(p.prompt_prefix)
	suffix = prompt_string(p.prompt_suffix)
	write(terminal, prefix)
	write(terminal, Base.text_colors[:bold])
	width = write_prompt(terminal, p.prompt)

@KristofferC : This issue has been closed, but has the problem been solved? I can still see it happening with Version 0.7.0-beta2.43...

[KristofferC]

How is this closed?

[PetrKryslUCSD]

Sorry, I meant #27782.

[KristofferC]

That is a dup of this issue.
