I’m running Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4.3 with the PowerShell Tools extension version 5.3.1 installed. I have a PowerShell module project which edits a .psm1 file. The problem is that sometimes the Visual Studio navigation bar does not appear to let me select which function in the module to g…

Hey @jrmehl , This sounds like a bug but the first I’m hearing of it. I’ll have to look into it and see if we can figure out what’s going on there.

Thank you. Please let me know if there’s any more info I can provide.

Here’s another problem I’m seeing related to the navigation bar. Sometimes when I select a function from the navigation bar, the cursor won’t go to the selected function with the selected function scrolled to the middle of the screen. Then if I try it again, it will. This doesn’t happen all the t…

It sounds a bit like the extension is being flaky overall for you. I looked through the log and didn’t see anything obvious that would be causing this. Because of that, I’m going to put in a little bit more logging to see if we can get to the bottom of what is happening. I’ll get a kit put together …

Yeah, it is acting odd with VS 2019. But, I’ve used it for years with prior versions and it’s been great. Thanks for your help and just let me know when you’re ready for me to run with that additional logging. Thanks.
