Also,
Set-PSReadlineOption -ExtraPromptLineCount 3behaves weirdly, could be relatedlzybkr commentedon Nov 9, 2016

I verified, problem doesn't repro, if I remove PSReadLine.

I believe this is fixed in #561.
I'll publish a pre-release version to the PowerShell Gallery as soon as they support pre-releases.
If you'd like to try a fix before that, you can build the lastest yourself from the master branch, or
grab a build from AppVeyor like this one.
Note the version number is now 2.0, so be sure to copy the contents to \PSReadLine\2.0.

Trying to deploy the linked zip file on macOS and https://github.com/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive/issues/11 shows its head again

Verified that this is fixed, thank you Jason Shirk (@lzybkr) !

I'll have an official prerelease build out next week if you want to verify this is fixed, otherwise you can grab a build out of appveyor here.

Jason Shirk (@lzybkr) Hi, I am sorry, but I think we have regressed with this issue in
2.0.0-Beta1. I have recently upgraded to2.0.0-Beta1to fix broken multi-line prompt after console layout #633, and while that one is fixes, it seems thatSet-PSReadlineOption -ExtraPromptLineCount 1no longer works - I also tested latest AppVeyor build. Reverting back to 1.2, makes Ctrl+L properly clear the prompt.Can we please re-open?

I have a two line (ANSI) prompt string and yeah, I wound up commenting out the line in my profile that was setting
Set-PSReadlineOption -ExtraPromptLineCount 1. The prompt worked better after that.lzybkr commentedon Feb 16, 2018
Please open a new issue - this one was more general.
I'm a little surprised I didn't notice, I added the option for myself and I do use
Ctrl+L.
