Issue Description

I am experiencing a problem with the Outline feature in the Explorer view. When I click on an element of the Outline, the active editor closes or nothing happens.

That "Outline" view is not a feature of the PowerShell extension nor is it a native feature of VSCode. I believe you have installed an extension that is providing that view. Perhaps https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=patrys.vscode-code-outline ? I suggest you file an issue on their repo.

Outline view has been shipped in version 1.24 of VSCode
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_24#_outline-view

Only the Powershell extension were enabled (see original post created by the "Powershell: Upload Bug Report to Github" command)

Thanks, that's good to know but it is a "Preview version" of the feature. We can add it to the backlog but it might be a while before it gets addressed. We do take PRs although this feature would probably require work in the PowerShellEditorServices repo as well.

[AlexBillon07]

Should I submit the issue to PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices ?

[rkeithhill]

Until we dig into this issue to figure out what is going wrong with the new Outline feature, having the issue submitted here is fine. In fact, we often get issues submitted here that are really PSES issues just because the "extension" is what folks see.

Yeah I agree. Lets wait for Outline to mature as a feature. This could be a vscode bug.

Hello,

The Outline feature is now out of preview : https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_25#_outline-view

I don't have the bug anymore.
