[JustinGrote]

@JustinGrote If you change them, then press enter in the integrated console, do they update?

@JustinGrote thanks for reporting this...I am having a bit of trouble reproducing this...are you using a Debug configuration?

[JustinGrote]

I've noticed it happens after extended debugging sometimes but not right away. Let me see if I can get a better capture with detailed PSES logs.

This issue is being closed as inactive, if this issue is still occurring it will be re-opened

[rjmholt]

I wonder if this is related to #2364

[JustinGrote]

@rjmholt @TylerLeonhardt Just confirming this is definitely still an active issue, I'll see it after doing complicated debugging, start/stopping debug etc. after 3-5 minutes or so, however I haven't been able to nail down a root cause.

I'll turn on Debug logging and see if I can catch it in the act and submit the logs.

[rjmholt]

Sorry, this was closed by accident in the PR I just merged. It may be fixed by that, but needs to be manually tested.

[JustinGrote]

@rjmholt thanks! I'll grab a CI build VSIX and give it a shot, this has been happening a lot to me during long interactive sessions.

[JustinGrote]

Just an update that this still happens to me all the time and I haven't been able to take the time to capture a full output or make it consistently reproducible, but it happens on 2020.3.2

It generally happens when I have this type of workflow:

1. Set a breakpoint
2. Start Powershell Interactive Session
3. Run a script or command and hit said breakpoint
4. Stop the debug rather than continue (I think the problem is in some cleanup somewhere here)
5. Start Interactive Session Again
6. Hit breakpoint but now I can't edit or change the watch variables, and they don't update
