write-progress does not work outside of a loop in PS 6.0 (RC) on Mac OS #5741
Description
If I embed a write-progress inside of a for loop, it works properly.
But if I'm trying to use write-progress to indicate progress within just a sequence of commands in a script... no dice.
In Windows Powershell, I use this frequently so I can have the master progress bar show which phase of the script I'm in, and the sub-progress bars show progress within those phases (usually looped)
Steps to reproduce
write-progress "something"
start-sleep 5Expected behavior
I should see "something" show up in a progress bar.
Actual behavior
I see nothing in PS 6. (If I use PS 5.1 or earlier in Windows, it works perfectly)
