[akselbork]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.

Summary

When choosing a line in a PowerShell script and pressing F8, nothing happens.
Then by moving the focus to the terminal and pressing "Enter" the line will be executed, at becomes visible in the terminal.

This is the same for F5

So every execution has to be made i "double steps"

No problem if the command is entered directly into the terminal

It doesn't work for me either. The New PowerShell preview is broken. When presssing F5 in 5.1 or in PS 7 the PowerShell icon in the bottom is progressing but nothing happens.

I have the same when running cmmand Powershell: Run Selvetion after the update of Powershell Preview to 2021.8.1.

After rollback to 2021.8.0 it works again.

vscode: 1.59.1
powershell: 7.1.4
os: windows 10 Version 1909

Duplicate of #3513, will be fixed Monday with a new update to the preview. Sorry about that! Wondering how to add a regression test around this, and super open to ideas on that topic.
