Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash in a small Windows terminal while running the NewLocaleCommand, then trace the stack through PromptHelper.PromptValue and Sharprompt's DefaultConsoleDriver.ClearLine. Compare the behavior with shibayan/Sharprompt#283; done means the prompt no longer throws an ArgumentOutOfRangeException when the terminal is small.
