Summary

Adding an invalid string-interpolated watch expression as a third watch expression puts the watch window in bad state and makes it unusable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Debug PowerShell script and hit a breakpoint.
2. Add expression a to watch window.
3. Add expression a to watch window again.
4. Add expression "a${a[a]}" to watch window.

The entry for the last watch expression added shows :. If double-clicked, it shows "a${a[a]}":. However, at this point, it is impossible to change, add or remove watch expressions without killing the PowerShell terminal.

Thanks for opening this issue @NeoXtreem! Is this currently breaking any workflows for you?

[NeoXtreem]

@StevenBucher98 No, but it does require me to restart Visual Studio whenever it happens.

I can't seem to repro this in v2023.8.0.
