Description

Brief description of your issue

I was using wingetcreate new and I observed some contamination in the UI where some text was leaking in the display.

wingetcreate-bug
Steps to reproduce

Paste the following text into "Description"

Microsoft App Installer for Windows 10 makes sideloading Windows 10 apps easy: Just double-click the app package, and you won't have to run PowerShell to install apps. App Installer presents the package information like app name, publisher, version, display logo, and the capabilities requested by the app. Get right into the app, no hassles--and if installation doesn't work, the error messages were designed to help you fix the problem. Windows Package Manager is supported through App Installer starting on Windows 10 1809. This application is currently only available for desktop PCs.
Expected behavior

The text is accepted and the rest of the input isn't contaminated.

Actual behavior

The text seems to bleed over other input choices

Environment
Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator v1.0.3.0
