Description
Describe the bug
The ‘Edit Query WIQL’ feature is a great aid for query debugging and porting to other ADO instances.
A major confusing and frustrating bug is that what’s exported appears to be a snapshot of the query taken upon the query editor loading. As I keep making changes to the query via the grid editor, Edit Query WIQL keeps showing the original query. Doing Save on the query does not help. I have to navigate away from the query and reopen it for Edit to show the latest version.
Environment:
- Browser: Edge
- https://msdata.visualstudio.com/
Additional context
First reported the issue via the ADO feedback, but it was dismissed as being in an external product: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/ADO-work-item-query-editor-Edit-Query-/11022085 .

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the query editor: change the query through the grid editor, open Edit Query WIQL, and compare its output before and after saving. Trace how the edited query state reaches the WIQL view; done means the view shows the latest changes without navigating away and reopening the query.
