Text echoes after using backtick on Windows 11 command prompt/powershell

Description

What are your expected behavior and actual behavior of your environment?

After using a backtick command, Readline behaves strangely, sometimes it echoes all input and sometimes it doesn't show my input at all.

older version of irb/reline

irb(main):001:0> `choco -v`
=> "2.2.0\n"
irb(main):002:0> irb(main):002:0> p█████████      irb(main):002:0> pu       ppppppppirb(main):002:0> put      ppirb(main):002:0> puts  irb(main):002:0> puts irb(main):002:0> puts 'irb(main):002:0' puts 'hirb(main):002:0' puts 'heirb(main):002:0' puts 'helirb(main):002:0' puts 'hellirb(main):002:0' puts 'helloirb(main):002:0' puts 'hello'hello
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> irb(main):003:0> eeeeeeeeeeeeeirb(main):003:0> ex        eeeeirb(main):003:0> exi  eeirb(main):003:0> exitee

other times (latest irb/reline) it doesn't show my input until I press 'enter'

irb(main):001> `choco -v`
=> "2.2.0\n"
i▀irb(main):002> puts 'hi'
hi
=> nil
i▀irb(main):003> exit

Terminal Emulator

What's your terminal emulator?
Windows 11 Powershell/Terminal

ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e)

*** LOCAL GEMS ***
irb (1.12.0)
reline (0.5.1)

[andrewngo]

Adding these gems seem to workaround the issue for me for now

gem 'readline'
gem 'readline-ext'

edit: these gems do cause copy/paste to behave oddly so it's more of a trade-off than workaround now

[tompng]

For investigation, can you check these value before and after problem occurs?

Reline::IOGage.get_screen_size
Reline::IOGage.get_console_screen_buffer_info
STDIN.winsize

Does it happens with specific command or any command?

[andrewngo]

I don't see the issue with commands like echo "hello", but other apps like ruby -v, chromedriver -v or choco are all issues

irb(main):002> Reline::IOGate.get_screen_size
=> [30, 120]
irb(main):003> Reline::IOGate.get_console_screen_buffer_info
=> "x\x00\x1E\x00\x00\x00\x1D\x00\a\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00w\x00\x1D\x00x\x00\x1E\x00"
irb(main):004> STDIN.winsize
(irb):4:in `winsize': Bad file descriptor - <STDIN> (Errno::EBADF)
        from (irb):4:in `<main>'
