Research direction

Reproduce the pinned C# interactive window workflow described in the issue, then inspect the CommandFilter handling for VsStd12 and MoveSelLinesUp. Compare command routing before and after relaunch; done means Alt+Up and Alt+Down navigate interactive history when the window is restored from a pinned tab.

Description

Reported at developer community as https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_workitems/edit/1178927.

Workflow:

  1. Open VS and dock the C# interactive window to one of the edges.
  2. Pin the window so that it collapses to a tab on the edge.
  3. Close VS
  4. Open VS
  5. Show the C# interactive window by clicking the tab
  6. Execute var a = 5;
  7. Press Alt + Up

Expected Outcome:

The current line should match the previous entry and read var a = 5;

Actual Outcome:

No change to the current line. From debugging the CommandFilter, pguidCmdGroup is VsStd12 and the nCmdID is MoveSelLinesUp.
