Description
From @NickCraver on twitter: https://twitter.com/Nick_Craver/status/1150201135095066624
Repro:
1. Right click, add a class
2. File.Test as the name, enter
3. Because of the . in there, .cs wasn't appending, so F2 on file and change to File.Test.cs
4. This is in the .csproj:
This is probably just None globbing (#4534) but maybe there is a small fix to be made in CPS to specifically improve the rename scenario.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the rename sequence in Visual Studio: add a class named File.Test, then rename it to File.Test.cs and inspect the resulting .csproj. Read the related None globbing issue #4534 and the CPS behavior around the rename. Done means the project file no longer gains the extra items shown in the report.
