Description

Describe the issue

nunit test
in older versions <= 3.10.14
in test explorer, test cases were grouped by test
Image

in newer versions 3.2x+ including pre-release 3.28.196 it isn't grouped
Image

i have tests with hundreds of test cases, and it makes big mess.

Expected behavior

Grouping test cases by test like it was earlier.

Environment information

OS Version: Windows 11 25H2
VS Code Version: 1.131.0
Extension Version: 3.2x tested in various versions, including pre-release 3.28.196

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VS Code Test Explorer with an NUnit test containing many test cases, comparing the older 3.10.14 behavior with the newer C# Dev Kit extension versions listed. Start by tracing how test-case results are represented and grouped in the extension; done means test cases are again grouped by their parent test without disrupting other test runs.
