Description

## steps

Run `sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8` in MSYS2 / Git Bash / Cygwin
The `new` task will ask for the new project name

## problem
Typing characters into the prompt, but they will not be displayed. Also backspace gets interpreted as a character (`\177`), not as a deletion. Pressing either creates a project with weird name:

## expectation
Typed characters are displayed, and backspace/delete delete characters (and arrow keys move, etc)

## notes

sbt version: 12.8

Tried with Git-Bash: `Git-2.20.1-64-bit`
and MSYS2: `msys2-x86_64-20180531`
