Ctrl + V {git clone https://github.com/ppy/osu; cd osu}
Expected behavior
Under normal circumstances Ctrl + V should not have given an error and the git command should have been pasted on powershell and it should have cloned the required repository.
Actual behavior
Got an ArgumentOutOfRange exception of the top parameter and powershell did not work as intended.
"git clone https://github.com/ppy/osu" given parameter as an example should not have caused such an error.
