@meganrogge #132150 needs to be a candidate for this. I hope the fix you pushed also resolves the similar symptoms with tasks.

[formulahendry]

Please include #132150 in Recovery release, a lot of VS Code users and extension users are impacted by this.

[tomaxsas]

This should be fixed #132519

Please consider PR #132851 for Recovery as it resolves set of terminal issues that are not handled by fix for #132150
