.NET 6 tab completion doesn't work when chaining commands with &&

See original GitHub issue

Type cd .. && dotnet msbui and press tab.

Expected behavior: cd .. && dotnet msbuild Actual behavior: cd .. && dotnet --diagnostics

Notice that this works as expected in .NET 5 SDK.

I tried installing latest SDK… and searched a bit more about it and realized I don’t have dotnet-suggest installed and my $Profile contained:

# PowerShell parameter completion shim for the dotnet CLI
Register-ArgumentCompleter -Native -CommandName dotnet -ScriptBlock {
     param($commandName, $wordToComplete, $cursorPosition)
         dotnet complete --position $cursorPosition "$wordToComplete" | ForEach-Object {
            [System.Management.Automation.CompletionResult]::new($_, $_, 'ParameterValue', $_)
         }
 }

Which I assume is for .NET 5 style tab completion… Hence this is probably invalid bug…

Hmm okay I installed the lastest build (6.0.100-alpha.1.20628.5) and I’m still not able to repro. I tried it on windows command prompt and powershell.
