Write-Verbose / Write-Warning / Write-Debug colors linger after execution

See original GitHub issue

Note: This is a regression from 7.1. It affects all terminals on all platforms.

Executing a Write-Verbose / Write-Warning / Write-Debug command that produces visible - and therefore colored - output makes the colors linger and affects subsequent output (that doesn’t explicitly control coloring)

Update: The problem is connected to the PSAnsiRendering experimental feature and does not occur while it is disabled.

Steps to reproduce

Write-Warning foo; 'bar'

Expected behavior

foo should print in yellow, bar in the default colors.

Actual behavior

Both foo and bar print in yellow, and the subsequent prompt string prints in yellow too.

Environment data

PowerShell Core 7.2.0-preview.2

Strange, I’m not able to reproduce with 7.1 or 7.2 preview 2.

Make sure you have the experimental feature enabled. I did the same thing the other day. (Speaking of which, FYI @rjmholt. I forget what thread I said that in.)

Enabling PSAnsiRendering allowed me to reproduce.
