Steps to Reproduce

(1) Open pwsh console (or in my case an app hosting PowerShell Core).

(2) In VSCode, attach to this process for PowerShell debugging.

(3) In pwsh, invoke the attached script debug-4489.far.ps1 -- it sets some breakpoints for testing.
debug-4489.far.ps1.zip

(4) In pwsh, type and invoke test1 -- it breaks into VSCode debugger.

(5) In VSCode terminal type $host and hit Enter.

Expected result
VSCode evaluates the statement $host and prints the output (the host properties in this result).
It definitely used to work like this some versions ago.

Actual result
Nothing happens in the terminal until we go to the attached pwsh console and hit Enter there.
(Why? And how a user is supposed to know this?)

Reproduire avec debug-4489.far.ps1 en attachant VS Code à pwsh, en invoquant test1 et en saisissant $host dans le terminal VS Code. Suivre le flux de la console du processus attaché et des entrées du terminal ; c’est terminé lorsque $host est évalué et affiche les propriétés de l’hôte sans appuyer sur Entrée dans la console pwsh attachée.
