OCGV: Does not seem to work in remote PSSession

Piping to Out-ConsoleGridView after Enter-PSSession produces an error and exits the PSSession. I have tried from Windows to MacOS and Windows to Ubuntu (WSL) using PowerShell 7.0.3 and Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools 0.6.1.

PS C:\Users\admin> $session = New-PSSession -HostName computer -UserName admin
admin@computer's password:
PS C:\Users\admin> Enter-PSSession -Session $session
[admin@computer]: PS /home/admin> Get-Process | Out-ConsoleGridView
There is an error processing data from the background process. Error reported: 'exadecimal value 0x1B, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1..
PS C:\Users\admin>

Is it caused by ESC in Dispose()?

If it’s not supposed to work in PSSession then perhaps check for the existence of $PSSenderInfo and handle it more gracefully without crashing out of the session.

Sorry about the confusion. My last commit will not make OCGV work over a remote session. It will fail with a terminating exception, but the remote session will not be closed. Only the last commit in the PR is needed.

I think for now, the cmdlet should check if it’s remote and fail gracefully. PowerShell remoting was designed to transport objects, so the text output for console rendering is confusing it.
