Vscode-powershell: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException when using Out-GridView

[janegilring]

Issue Description

The following works fine in the Windows PowerShell console host:
Connect-AzAccount -Credential $AzureCreds

Get-AzSubscription | Out-GridView -PassThru -Title 'Select subscription to operate against' | Set-AzContext

When I run the same in VS Code, I get the following error:

PS Git:> Get-AzSubscription | Out-GridView -PassThru -Title 'Select subscription to operate against' | Set-AzContext
An error occurred while reading input:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The value must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the console's buffer size in that dimension.
Parameter name: top
Actual value was 10.

Not sure if this is related, but the following command also works in Windows PowerShell, but fails in VS Code:

Get-AzVM -Name MGMT-AZ-01 | Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -CommandId RunPowerShellScript -ScriptPath "~\Git\PSDemo\Azure\sample.ps1"

PS Git:> Get-AzVM -Name MGMT-AZ-01 | Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -CommandId RunPowerShellScript -ScriptPath "~\Git\PSDemo\

@janegilring thanks for reporting this it looks like you are hitting the same issue as #702

[SydneyhSmith]

@janegilring are you able to reproduce this issue in our Preview Extension?...that extension has PSReadline support which may solve this issue

[janegilring]

@SydneyhSmith I installed the preview extension, and when trying to reproduce using that version - the issue is gone. If I go back to the non-preview extension, the issue is back. Are there any timeline for when PSReadline support will be available in the non-preview extension?

[SydneyhSmith]

@janegilring thanks for checking that, glad to hear you have a work-around option for now---we unfortunately dont have a committed deadline but it remains our top issue and one we are hoping will be solved by architecture changes we are currently implementing

[SydneyhSmith]

Going to mark this as a duplicate and continue tracking this item with our existing issue that PSReadLine is not available in the main PowerShell Extension #1793
