Visuals

Same command works fine when running the image tagged 7.2-debian-11:

% docker run -it --name "ps72" --platform "linux/amd64" --rm "mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:7.2-debian-11"
PS /> Write-Warning Test
WARNING: Test

[michielvoo]

The same error occurs when running the images tagged 7.4-debian-12 and 7.4-alpine-3.17.

And note that after the error the docker process does not respond to SIGINT (Ctrl+C), SIGTSTP (Ctrl+Z), or SIGQUIT (Ctrl+). I had to open another terminal and docker stop ps74 to recover.

Same here. This does not happen on 7.2-alpine-3.14, but happens on 7.3 and 7.4

[dpoole73]

[bryanroscoe]
