[dgoldman-msft]

Type: Bug

1. Installed latest PowerShell extension
2. Created script file
3. Select All + F8
4. Set breakpoint
5. Select Run from menu and debug - all is ok
6. Add new function to the top of the file with any name or tab complete a basic template function.
7. Select Run and debug

function: C:\Users\testuser\Start-Test\Start-Test.ps1:1:1
Line |
1 | function Write-ToLog {
| ~~~~~~~~~
| The term 'function' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

After this debugging is broken. Removed and reinstalled the PowerShell extension and its the same result.
