Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the two input issues in the Android Chrome demo using the command sequence from the report, then trace the demo's command-line editing and redraw behavior. Done means backspace edits the current line normally and the next command's first word is not duplicated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  1. Backspace doesn't work after first command is run
  2. After running first command the first word of the next commands is doubled, which is even worse due to the first bug because without Ctrl+C on the normal Android keyboards you are stuck.

Test scenario:

>>> import micropython
>>> dirdir(micropython) # was just trying for one for
#If I hit backspace now I get this, one print per press
>>> dirdir(micropython dirdir(micropytho dirdir(micropyth
#ad nauseum, these are put the current command line instead of being redrawn in place
