Push-Location and relative referencing not working correct

[OlafDrechsler]

Type: Bug

The situation: We're building something in Powershell 7. All the script files are in C:\TomsTool\PS with icons in subfolder C:\TomsTool\PS\Icons

The problem: I run the file C:\TomsTool\PS\Show-Menu.ps1 in debug mode in VS Code. In that script we use Push-Location to set the path to C:\TomsTool\PS Retrieving the value with Get-Location prooves that Push-Location worked correct. Nevertheless relative referencing to a file Icon = '.\Icons\somepic.ico'; refers to my home path and results in an error:

Line |
 241 |      $formMenu = [Form]@{Text='Verarbeitung';
     |      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Cannot create object of type "System.Windows.Forms.Form". Cannot convert value ".\Icons\somepic.ico" to type
     | "System.Drawing.Icon". Error: "Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\OlafDrechsler\Icons\somepic.ico'."

The reason: I did open the script file by double clicking in Microsoft Explorer and straight away started run in debug mode in VS Code. The error does not happen when I open VS code, open the folder C:\TomsTool\PS from within VS Code and open the script file from within VS Code.

My humble opinion: I think Push-Location should work the same way in both situations.
