Research direction
Start with the linked screenshot and the report's TextMate grammar note; reproduce the issue in VS Code with semantic highlighting disabled and a PowerShell region defined inside a hashtable. Done means that region is highlighted correctly in this case, without changing the reported standalone PowerShell behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
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
Seems to be textmate grammar related, happens if semantic highlighting is disabled.
