Cmder console 'hijacked' after running 'start-ssh-agent'

Description of the issue

Hello, not quite sure where to post my concerns, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place. Just need a little guidance.

Whenever I execute start-ssh-agent in Cmder, it seems like the console gets 'hijacked' by another console. Here's an example of my situation:

C:\Users\Brad
λ start-ssh-agent
Found ssh-agent at 6752
Found ssh-agent socket at /tmp/ssh-GYaVEG9e6nDE/agent.18340
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.556]
(c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Brad>

Prior to executing start-ssh-agent, I'd be entering commands beside the lambda symbol (one line under my CWD), and my CWD is a nice green colour. After executing start-ssh-agent, all of my commands are entered after C:\Users\Brad> on the same line, and all my console text is the same colour.

I can get out of this by simply executing exit, and them I'm brought back to the standard Cmder console, complete with colours. I can add my SSH keys in either situation, but I much prefer using the default Cmder console. Example of coming back to the standard Cmder console:

C:\Users\Brad
λ start-ssh-agent
Found ssh-agent at 6752
Found ssh-agent socket at /tmp/ssh-GYaVEG9e6nDE/agent.18340
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.556]
(c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Brad>exit

C:\Users\Brad
λ

Ultimately this isn't a game-breaking issue or anything like that. Just a matter of preference I guess? Can someone help me determine what exactly is going on here?

To answer some questions I'm confident I'll be asked:

• I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise, build 1809.
• I do not have Microsoft's OpenSSH client installed (Settings app -> Apps & Features -> Manage optional features)

Please let me know if any additional information is required. I appreciate any help with this concern!

Have a look at #1807 and #1781
