I also tested this on 15.8.0 Preview 1.1 and it has the same issue

Thank you. We have an active bug in VS to track this problem.

@mgoertz-msft Does the active bug appears on developercommunity.visualstudio.com ? Can you link it if it's the case ? Thanks you

@YGuerin No, I simply created a bug in our database for this issue directly. Feel free though to create a VS feedback ticket which I would be able to link to our internal bug.
