Infinite loop in terminal

[dhu163]

• VSCode Version: 1.38
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18362

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Whenever I run any python file from VS Code without debugging (it is fine debugging) in a particular private github repository, the python debug console seems to get stuck in an infinite loop, repeatedly printing the same sequence of what looks like terminal commands and then a message to report to github. Eventually however, it seems to give up and successfully runs the file. Is my file address too long? This only happens on my home lenovo laptop and not my work PC.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No, there is no issue if I call it by "python ~.py"

oh, I just noticed the github link to powershell now that it is highlighted, looks like I should have posted it there
EDIT: PowerShell/PSReadLine#1039
so should this be closed?

I've got the same problem, it's described here:
#81023
I dont think it's the PowerShell's problem. If you change the shell to cmd or wsl, the bug still exists.

A temporary solution is to RUN instead of DEBUG.
Right click the python editor -> choose Run Python file in terminal.

It's not powershell's problem. I've updated powershell, the bug still exists.
