Display the command that is running in the PowerShell console on the same line

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.

Summary

I know this is nitpicking but somehow in the new Preview I dislike that it shows the execution on the next line rather than on same line:

Thanks for raising! It is a change in behavior and can be jarring to users so I think it's a valid ask. There's a couple other related issues e.g. debug doesn't issue newline after prompt

[andyleejordan]

Yeah there's a lot of work around redisplaying the prompt properly that we need to do! This is definitely valid and thank you for reporting.

[andyleejordan]

I'm looking at this, but I'm not sure how addressable it is. Technically when running a script via F5 or arbitrary selected code via F8, we cancel the current prompt and just run the code...so it is explicitly not running on that prompt but entirely separately. Note that if you add anything to that prompt but don't hit enter, and then hit F8, everything at the prompt is thrown away instead. So what it's currently displaying is more accurate. That said, I think we could re-render the prompt in front of the command we're about to run.

[PrzemyslawKlys]

That sounds good. Btw I have a lot of issues around the display (clear-host helping partially) where the text goes over text, and even new lines stop working under debugging. Should I create separate issues or update it here?

Let's see how much PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices#1690 and PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices#1691 help out with that. I'll get a new Preview out soon, and then for any more problems yes please new issues!
