I’m seeing this too, in similar circumstances.
A workaround is to select “Flutter: Hot Restart” from the Command Palette (command+shift+P).
Strange that this would work when the shortcut key fails.
I believe this has been fixed in VS Code by https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/57255. If anyone is able to repro this and wants to try it in Insiders, please post back to confirm.
