Description
This is similar to bug reported here
I can reproduce this bug in any script on any computer I am using.
For example when typing with editor.formatOnType set to True
measure -distance
I would expect it to expand it to
Measure-Distance -distance
logs and payload logs to follow shortly

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with powershell.codeFormatting.autoCorrectAliases enabled and editor.formatOnType set to True, using measure -distance in a script. Review the related issue comment and the eventual logs or payload mentioned in this report; done means formatting expands the alias to Measure-Distance -distance.
