F# open Codefix does not work if file contains only one line

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

In Version 16.5.0 Preview 1.0, if you try to apply a suggested 'open' Codefix in a file that contains only one line, it does not actually apply the Codefix. If you however add an empty line before or after the line where the codefix is offered, it works as expected. This applies to .fs and .fsx files both.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create any F# Project
2. Create a new file (either .fs or .fsx)
3. Write a single line that provokes an 'open' Codefix, such as let test = Console.WriteLine()
4. Try to apply one of the offered 'open' Codefixes, both will fail
5. Add an empty line before or after the line and both will work as expected

Possible workaround is to just add an empty line before or after as this only seems to happen with files that contain exactly one line only.

I have detected that for the last 35 days, this issue didn't have much product team activity and a very small amount of new votes or comments. Based on this, its severity, and affected area, it’s my experience that this issue is very unlikely to be fixed.
