Description
This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.
For some reason, setting Console.TreatControlCAsInput to 'true' causes text printed with "Console.Write" to be removable. To reproduce, simply create a new Console application and paste the following code in the main method:
//Console.TreatControlCAsInput = true; Console.Write("Test> "); while (true) Console.Read();
Start the application (with the first line commented) and write some input. Then hold down backspace; the text should remove until the end of "Test> " and you aren't able to remove more characters. Now uncomment the first line and start the application again. Write some input and hold down backspace; for some reason now every text is removed with backspace, even what was printed with Console.Write.

I have detected that for the last 35 days, this issue didn't have much product team activity and a very small amount of new votes or comments. Based on this, its severity, and affected area, it’s my experience that this issue is very unlikely to be fixed.
