Why is the output of the powersheel script not working correctly?

Question

PowerShell

Good afternoon.
Tell me what I'm doing wrong? There is a small script for granting access to network folders, it is divided into several points, one of them does not work correctly if you use this construction:

Write-Host ″Menu″ -BackgroundColor White -ForegroundColor Red
Write-Host ″1. Посмотреть права на папку″ -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host ″2. Exit″ -ForegroundColor Green

while($true)
{
$choice = Read-Host ″Выберите пункт меню″

Switch($choice){

  1 {
        $path = "C:\Temp"
        (get-acl $path ).access | select IdentityReference, IsInherited, FileSystemRights
         
    }

  2 {Write-Host ″Exit″; return}
    default {Write-Host ″Wrong choice, try again.″ -ForegroundColor Red}
    }
}

Then I get a normal output only after the third time, first it outputs an empty string, then it outputs duplicated values, and the third time the output is normal.

″Menu″
″1. View folder permissions″
″2. Exit″
″Select Menu Item″: 1

″Select Menu Item″: 1
IdentityReference IsInherited FileSystemRights

Can anyone suggest how to fix the situation?

This is due to the peculiarities of how Output works.
The easiest way to decide in your case is to add | Out-Host after select
if you are doing interactive, then always use xxx-Host cmdlets,
mix default output with output to host - just get glitches like this
. And, yes, code formatting is creepy. Don't skimp on translations
