sardarsaad807-svg Your issue report doesn't show the environment data, such as the version of PSReadLine you are using. I presume it's an old version of PSReadLine and recommend you upgrade to the latest v2.4.5 of PSReadLine, as the issue is likely fixed in the newer versions. You can follow the instructions in https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-and-upgrading.

This issue was already fixed (see #1306). Please upgrade to the 2.3.5 version of PSReadLine from PowerShell Gallery.
See the upgrading section for instructions. Please let us know if you run into the same issue with the latest version.
