Bug with Node.js 8.1.0 on Linux

[JulioJu]

Type of issue

On Linux , with NodeJS 8.1.0, it's impossible to use arrow keys when we generate a new project with command yo jhipster.

I've tried with zsh, sh, bash, and with Gnome-Terminal, XTerm, tty, and with Yeoman 1.8.5 or 2.0.0 and with Jhipster 4.3.0, 4.5.2 and 4.5.3.

If we kill yeoman (pkill yo), after having use this command, in the same shell there are many other issues with other commands like sudo (can't enter passwords).

With Node.js 8.1.0, there is no problems with command yo jhipster entity myentityname.

With Node.js 7.9.0 or Node.js 6.11.0, there isn't any problem. All work fine.

My environment

• OS version/details: Linux
• Node version: 8.1.0
• npm version: 4.6.1
• Version of yo : 2.0.0 or 1.8.5

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Install Linux and Node.js 8.1.0, and jhipster.
• In a new folder, type yo jhipster
• Try to use arrow keys. Doesn't work.
• In an other terminal, kill yeoman (pkill yo)
• In the first terminal, try to run sudo: it's not possible to enter password.
• Try other commands with inputs, like ([Y/n]. Doesn't work too.
