bug#32148: 27.0.50; Shell is getting characters when enlarging window

[James Engel]

I cloned from git the latest version of emacs.

I start emacs without an init file to be sure nothing in there is causing the issue.

If I start a shell and split the window horizontally I get > > characters on the command line in 

the shell. It doesn’t matter if I shrink/enlarge vertically or horizontally I get the same

characters. The more times I do that the > > characters are added.

Any idea why this is occurring and/or how to fix it?
