First prompt on Windows is duplicating

[Vasyl-Kobyletskiy]

Good afternoon,

There is one issue. When we use inquirer latest version 1.1.2, user entrance of first prompt is duplicating.
Let me show you a simple example to demostrate it

var inquirer = require('inquirer');
inquirer.prompt([
{
name: 'name',
type: 'input',
'message': 'Name:'
},
{
name: 'surname',
type: 'input',
'message': 'Surname:'
},
{
name: 'password',
type: 'password',
message: 'Password:'
}
]).then(function(credentials){
console.log(credentials);
});

Issue is that firsr prompt is duplicating. It was tested on Windows 8.1 x64, node v 5.0.0.
The same issue was detected when using older version of inquirer - 0.12.0.

I am using https://github.com/dylang/grunt-prompt, which uses [email protected], and the issue is the same.

When having just one prompt with pasword, it is only masked in the second line, so you can see what are you typing (password), then after pressing enter you see the line repeated, but with masked input.

Edit: Windows 10 cmd.exe, ConEmu with PyCmd

Same issue on Windows 10 with Powershell

I should say, I have both issues... first line is duplicated and if the first prompt is type password, you can see the input that is typed.

I can confirm both issues!

Some node version ship with a totally broken readline.

See nodejs/node#5384 for more details. You'll want to try again on latest stable Node.js version.
