`Out-ConsoleGridView` Prevents `Test-Connection` Running

[chenrylee]

I've tested it on both Windows 10 (19041.113) and MacOS (10.15.3):

• PowerShell 7.0 GA
• Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGUITools 0.3.0

1. Run Test-Connection 8.8.8.8, it works;
2. Run gci | Out-ConsoleGridView, close it and run Test-Connection 8.8.8.8, it doesn't work, CTRL + C can't terminate it;
3. Close the window directly, and re-open the terminal;
4. Run Test-Connection 8.8.8.8, it works;
5. Run gci | Out-ConsoleGridView, close it and run gci, it works;
6. Run Test-Connection 8.8.8.8, it doesn't work, CTRL + C can't terminate it;

In PowerShell/PowerShell#11517 we fix such issue with WinForms. It seems the fix is not in 7.0 GA.

I've tested this with the latest daily build of PowerShell and confirmed that it works now.

❯❯❯ gci | ocgv                                                                                                                                                                                                                                ❯❯❯ Test-Connection google.com

   Destination: google.com

There's nothing we can do about this so I'll close it. 7.1.0-preview.1 should have the fix!

This bug will permanently exist for PowerShell 7.0 stable release.

Did I get the point? 😵

[TylerLeonhardt]

hmm not sure. @SteveL-MSFT is this something worthy of servicing in a 7.0.1?

[iSazonov]

I think the fix is important to have in 7.0 servicing because users us WinForms. Please vote in referenced PR.

It was announced that it's a LTS release, so I think this bug will be fixed somehow in the coming releases. 🤔
