#5102 Pushed Shell past its limits
Fresh install of ubuntu on a vps, then fresh install of virtualmin as homepage describes, followed config in UI and wanted to install git before I could configure the feature, I did not create a virtual server yet. Loaded terminal/shell from webmin and ran "man apt-get" to view options then "apt install -y --install-suggests git" because I first ran just install but it also recommended the daemon plus 5 others. After running this last command it auto-suggested a million libraries including libre-office (doh!) but the list of modules was incomplete and looked to have flooded/overflowed the buffer. At this point the terminal and window was broken. Refreshing the tab was the only solution.
ubuntu 16.04 on a openvz.io vps, with apt update/upgrade/dist-upgrade before installing virtualmin. Browser used was latest chrome in win10_64

Can you attach a screenshot showing how it was broken?
