Debug Console No Autocomplete

[Unturned3]

Environment data

• debugpy version: 1.8.12
• Python Debugger extension version: 2025.0.1
• VS Code version: 1.97.2
• OS and version: macOS 14.3 (remote machine: Alma Linux 9.4)
• Python version: 3.10.16 (conda-forge)

Actual behavior

If the debug console window (i.e. the VS Code bottom "panel") is hidden before launching the debug session, then autocomplete would not work inside the debug console.

Expected behavior

Autocomplete should work regardless if the debug console panel is initially hidden or not.

This wouldn't be controlled by debugpy. It actually knows nothing about the VS code terminal. Transferring. My suspicion is that this is a VS code issue.

I am having a similar problem When I freshly open VSCode I get one time through of being able to debug a file and have autocomplete/intellisense in the Debug Console. If I Stop the Debug session and start a new one, I get no autocomplete/intellisense assistance. To get it back I have to kill all terminals, restart language server, and reload window.

I'm using the following extensions on VSCode version 1.97.2, Python version 3.11.4:

• Pylance v2025.2.1
• Python v2025.0.0
• Python Debugger v2025.0.1

@connor4312 IS this something that you addressed recently with Debug Console?
