Description
Issue Type: Bug
Begin debugging session for Pester tests.
Added misspelled expression to Watch panel
Hit F10 a few times and F11
Renamed expression
Tried to add a second one, the plus sign grayed out and not able to add anymore.
Extension version: 2020.9.0
VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.51.0-insider (6c8c6008ef9d86e46b086a00f273b1fee5bd8c51, 2020-10-21T05:39:35.557Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19041
View of the Watch panel when this happened, after a few seconds the original expression I added and renamed goes away. Then when I click on the plus sign to try and add another one it seems to show an empty item:

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by debugging Pester tests in VS Code with a misspelled and renamed Watch expression, following the reported F10/F11 steps. Review PSEditorService_Output.txt and the Watch panel behavior; done means expressions remain usable and the plus button still allows another watch item without an exception.
