Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title.
  • I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
  • I have read the troubleshooting guide.
  • I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
  • I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
  • If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

During usage of the Powershell Extension, it all of a sudden stops displaying data contained in Variables, like in the example below:
Powershell_Terminal_Exampla1

All of a sudden, it will completly stop echoing data and I have to force it with Write-Host, or Output-GridView
Powershell_Terminal_Exampla2

As you can see in the screenshot above, not a single variable outputs any data.

Powershell_Terminal_Exampla3

I dont feel like Im doing anything weird, I have scripts open that I work on, and as soon as I kill the Terminal, it will start working again --- but then I will loose the variables I was working with, and also all connections I have with services like MS Teams and Azure.
