PSScriptPAD plugin in VSS, closes when CTRL+C is hit!

PowerShell Tools
1

While I design my form in VS code using PSScript pad, I’ve got to right-click copy + right-click paste to copy for instance the name propoerty of a field to maintain common naming for my projects. If i try to do the same with keyboard shortcuts, the pad closes without saving… I can’t figure out what is causing this and i tend to forget that this does not work and keep on losing time when it abruptly closes for me. can i make it so that ctrl+C and ctrl+v work within the PSScriptPad, or at least prevent it from closing abruptly?

Tool: Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, PSScriptPad, PowerShell Module
Version:
2

It sounds like it is crashing. We will have to fix this on our end. Can you check event viewer to see if you have any errors related to PSScriptPad and .NET?

I confirm there is an error message in there relative to that. I’ll switch my OS in english and will paste it here.

Thanks. I can confirm I can reproduce this and see where the problem lies. I’ll get it resolved and released today.
