Has Windows 1809 broken Powershell's (and WSL's) line wrapping over ssh?
After updating to 1809 last night, I can't use the arrow keys to move around in the Powershell or WSL console windows without it awkwardly wrapping the lines while SSHed into a Linux server. I captured the gif below to show what happens when I hold the right arrow key in nano:
broken line wrapping gif
This is my first Windows computer in several years so I'm really stuck. This happens in the WSL and Powershell consoles, but not in PUTTY funny enough. I've tried SSHing into multiple servers but each does the same thing. Unfortunately this is the only Windows box I have to try on however, and it doesn't do the weird wrapping thing if I'm not logged into SSH.
If anyone has some special Windows knowledge that my Google-fu has neglected to turn up, I'd be really appreciative!

Does it works inwsl.exe? Run wsl.exe then try to ssh into your server.

Does it works inwsl.exe? Run wsl.exe then try to ssh into your server.
