Hi! Can you try disabling the python environments extension and see if this changes the behavior? Thanks

Hi, thanks for fast response, i had to rollback to 1.104.1 which I've found to be stable (I am lecturing a class of 130 2nd year students, and they have a big assessment over the next 2 weeks so I had to get them set up for success today, most were impacted with the 1.105 release and now all are rolling back tonight). I will attempt to do that on another machine once I get this sorted. Thanks!

totally understand- glad rolling back worked and I will look at this on my end as well

Let me know if you are able to try again and if you are still seeing this issue- thanks!

Because we have not heard back with the information we requested, we are closing this issue for now. If you are able to provide the info later on, then we will be happy to re-open this issue to pick up where we left off.
Happy Coding!
