Issue Description

PS Class with using module statement throws type not found. If in the integrated PS console I run using module X and then remove and add back the using statements the error will away.

It looks as though VS code is not running the using statements while editing the script.

Expected Behaviour

Open a class file with types residing in a module and no type not found error is thrown.

Actual Behaviour

Type not found until manually running using statements in integrated console.

Attached Logs

Follow the instructions in the troubleshooting docs
about capturing and sending logs.

Research direction

Start with the troubleshooting documentation and reproduce the issue by opening a class file whose types come from a module. Compare the class-file behavior with running using module X in the integrated PowerShell console; done means the type-not-found error no longer appears without manually rerunning the using statements.
