What steps will reproduce the bug?

As shown in attached video:

1. From command line run node
2. At the prompt, enter the following without hitting enter: '\v'.codeAt(0)
3. As soon as the close parenthesis is typed, see:

TypeError: "
".codeAt is not a function

The vertical tab pulled the cursor away from the prompt line.

Mitigation: Hitting Ctrl-l resets the cursor to expected.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Occurs every time

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

The REPL cursor should stay on the prompt line, not overlap any error message due to speculative execution.

What do you see instead?

The vertical tab pulled the cursor away from the prompt line.
