I don't have a Mac and I tried the same on Windows without an exception.
The stack you report is hit after nearly every single character, so I think there must be something very special about what was pasted and how.
Can you try to provide some more specifics, maybe reproduce the problem with a smaller piece of text? Without more information, this would be extremely difficult to fix.

Definitely. I've been planning to look into some of these Mac related issues myself. I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget about the issue before I had a chance.
bgshacklett commentedon Apr 6, 2018
After a fair amount of experimentation, I've found that this error occurs whenever the number of lines pasted without immediate execution is greater than the number of visible lines in the terminal window. I also found that it's reproducible in the standard Mac terminal and Hyper, as well.
Steps to reproduce:
<#on the first line and press the return key.I haven't gotten a chance to take a look at the code at all, yet, to see why this is occurring. I'll try to get to that soon.

Thanks for narrowing down the problem - I can reproduce on Linux as well, I've updated the title accordingly.

Just another data point, I believe I'm experiencing this when listing available completions by pressing
<Tab><Tab>:Also, this may be obvious, but I'd rather include it just in case: I found that the value of the parameter
topappears to be directly related to the number of lines which need to be drawn. If I increase the height of the terminal window so that the error reportsActual value was -1, I can prevent the error on the next try by increasing the terminal window's height by a single line.lzybkr commentedon Apr 30, 2018
I would call that a distinct bug with the same symptom. The fix will definitely be different - we should just display possible completions without using the menu if it doesn't fit on the screen.

I'm working on this one

Get the same error cutting and pasting into the integrated console. If I kill the terminal windows using the 'bin' icon and restart it resumes working...

Hi, did you have any time to look at this issue? it's quite persistent on all of my envs (mac, conemu, ssh to pwsh)
Edited:
Looks like it's fixed in pre-release. Thanks!

if not already fixed, its likely fixed by #979.
