Issue Description
PS Class with using module statement throws type not found. If in the integrated PS console I run using module X
and then remove and add back the using statements the error will away.
It looks as though VS code is not running the using statements while editing the script.
Expected Behaviour
Open a class file with types residing in a module and no type not found error is thrown.
Actual Behaviour
Type not found until manually running using statements in integrated console.
Attached Logs
Follow the instructions in the troubleshooting docs about capturing and sending logs.

Yeah, any edit seems to do.
@andschwa @SeeminglyScience there currently is a situation where we get both the “unable to find type” and the PSScriptAnalyzer “Ignoring TypeNotFound” info. Maybe if we detect both of these we can silently suppress the error Problem and only present the information warning?
If so it may be worth reopening this issue to address.
