Pressing CTRL+C to cancel script doesn't stop debugging in preview extension

[PrzemyslawKlys]

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 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.

Summary

I just installed preview extension to see if Write-Host is fixed yet, and noticed it wasn't, so during a long time script running I press CTRL+C, but while the script stopped, GUI doesn't think so.

@PrzemyslawKlys Can you link the tracking issue for "Write-Host is fixed yet, and noticed it wasn't"?

[andyleejordan]

Also can you test if this repros with PowerShell 7.2? While I wired up a stop debugging notification so that stopping the PowerShell debugger informs Code to stop the GUI, I don't think it is supported with PowerShell 5.1

[PrzemyslawKlys]

It's not only PowerShell 5.1

Notice how I stopped CTRL+C and was able to type stuff in a terminal, while the GUI was showing something different.

• This is the issue for Write-Host Write-Host -NoNewLine not respected #3651

I refuse to use preview until this is fixed because it ruins the output of my programs. My modules heavily rely on Write-Host and it makes it really bad.

Cool, thanks for the information.

It looks like the wiring up I did in PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices#1570 was unfortunately not carried over in the pipeline threading rewrite PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices#1459.
