Long text pasted into PowerToys Run gets crazy

[codefoster]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.96.1

Installation method

WinGet

Area(s) with issue?

PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

Open PowerToys Run and paste the following text in...

""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-background-timer-throttling --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows --disable-renderer-backgrounding"

✔️ Expected Behavior

Realizing the text is longer than the Run box, I expect to see the last portion of the text rendered correctly.

❌ Actual Behavior

Instead I see text overlaid and can't tell what's there.

Additional Information

Windows 11

Other Software

No response

I can’t recreate this on the spot, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it somewhere before.

Sure. Lots of errors in there. Hopefully this helps you track it down.
