Issue Description

Actual Results: The numbers “50, 70…” are uncolorful in Calculator.feature.cs file, and System.IO.FileNotFoundException throw in Output- SpecFlow.

Expected Results: No error and waring show in Error Lists/Outputs.

Steps to Reproduce

Note: This issue doesn’t repro if we update tfm from .NET6.0 to .NET7.0. We use the latest VS 2022 build. But there's no option in above "Used Visual Studio" dropdown list.

Affected Branch: Rel.d/17.6 Affected Build: Version 17.6.0 Preview 3.0 [33603.287.d17.6] + dotnet-sdk-8.0.100-preview.3.23178.7 Affected Product Language: Affected Build link: Pipelines - Run rel.d17.6-33603.287 (visualstudio.com) + Pipelines - Run 20230329.2-8.0.100-preview.3.23178.7-172219 artifacts (azure.com) +feeds: https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_packaging/8.0.100-preview.3.23178.7-shipping/nuget/v3/index.json

Pre-steps:

1. Navigate to "Extensions -> Manage Extensions ->Online" and search for "SpecFlow" in the search bar.
2. Hit Download. You'll need to restart VS for the installation to completed.

Steps:

1. Create a new project -> search and select "SpecFlow Project"
2. On Create a new SpecFlow Project page-> Framework: .NET6.0-> Test Framework: "MSTest "-> check "Add FluentAssertions library" -> click "Create"
