Environment data

PS Version: 7.4.0-rc.1
PS HostName: ConsoleHost (Windows Terminal)
PSReadLine Version: 2.3.4
PSReadLine EditMode: Windows
OS: 10.0.22621.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800)
BufferWidth: 78
BufferHeight: 43

Steps to reproduce

Prerequisite: use the following profile.ps1

if (([console]::outputEncoding).EncodingName -ne 'Unicode (UTF-8)') {
    #[Console]::InputEncoding = [Console]::OutputEncoding = $OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Utf8Encoding]::new()
}
function prompt {
    "👉 "
}
Set-PSReadLineOption -PromptText '👉 ',''
Set-PSReadLineOption -predictionsource none
  1. Write text containing a character that will cause PSReadline to register a parsing error, such as hello world(
  2. Press Esc to delete the whole line

Expected behavior

The text buffer should be completely cleared.

Actual behavior

The characters which caused the parse error remain stuck on the buffer, and cannot be accessed by moving the cursor to their position. Additionally, when the parse error happens, the error prompt shifts slightly to the right.
