You should give PSReadLine 2.0.0-beta6 a try from PowerShellGallery, and if it doesn't resolve this issue, report further reproduction information there.

Thank you for looking at this issue.

I tried to install it but it says

WARNING: Version '2.0.0-beta3' of module 'PSReadLine' is already installed at 'C:\program files\powershell\6\Modules\PSReadLine'. To install version '2.0.0-beta6', run Install-Module and add the -Force parameter, this command will install version '2.0.0-beta6' side-by-side with version '2.0.0-beta3'.

should I install with -Force? Is there a way to replace the existing installation of beta3 with beta6?

[vexx32]

Yep, use -Force. This comes up because PSReadLine is installed in-the-box with PS Core, so OneGet doesn't consider the in-box version of the module as updatable. It can install side by side without issue. 🙂
