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.

It seems the issue does not occur in Powershell Core 7.1.2
