I think that's enough, this is probably another view of the same bugs that were described here earlier. I apologize if I'm repeating already opened issues, but I couldn't find a description of this exact behavior right away.

Version of PSReadline is 2.0.0 actually.

Trying to update PSReadline follows to:

(The module 'PSReadLine' isn't installed using the Install-Module command, so it cannot be updated.)

When trying to install a PSReadLine using the Install-Module command, a message is displayed that "Untrusted repository. Installing modules from an untrusted repository. If you trust this repository, change its InstallationPolicy value by running the Set-PSRepository cmdlet. Do you really want to install modules from "PSGallery"?" I have all the security settings "by default". Is it ok that the PSGallery is considered an "Untrusted" repo by default? Should I change security policy to this repo? Is it safe?

@schicout I'm guessing you're using the PowerShell that came bundled with Windows 10. I believe the PSReadLine included with that is actually a beta version of 2.0.0, which is why it still has this bug. I'm not a PowerShell expert, so I don't know why the update doesn't work for you (possibly because it's a bundled version), but I found a comment in another thread from someone explaining how they got it to update. See #18624 (comment).

Regarding the bug, two pieces of news.
Good. It seems I managed to localize the problem a little more. It turns out that the bug is reproduced only on color scheme "One Half Light", on schemes "Solarized Light" and "Tango Light" everything works without errors. So it looks like this is some kind of bug in the themes.

Solarized Light:

Tango Light

Not so good. Updating the module PSReadline (@j4james - thanks for the tip!) only resulted in the text being written white-on-white instead of black-on-black. So imho the bug does exist.
One Half Light:

It turns out that the bug is reproduced only on color scheme "One Half Light"

This is just a limitation of that color scheme. Their default background color is identical to their white color, which makes that color combination invisible - there's nothing the terminal can do about that. You can always tweak the color scheme yourself, choose a scheme that works better with PowerShell, or possibly tweak the PowerShell color mappings (I'm not sure if this is for the right version, but there's a guide here).

This is just a limitation of that color scheme.

Alas, this is true. This bug is by design.

You may want to enable the "Adjust indistinguishable colors" feature, as you will run into a lot of application that don't render properly with light themes.
