Environment gets activated after debugger starts (hence debugging with conda envs fail)

See original GitHub issue

Environment data

VS Code version: Just updated
Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): Just updated
OS and version: Windows 10
Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python 3.7, Conda3
Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): conda

Issue

Use Debug Python: Current File…

> cd ...
[...]
    from matplotlib import afm, cbook, ft2font, rcParams, get_cachedir
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

>D:/Anaconda3/Scripts/activate
>conda activate base

Terminal stays open so I can click again the play icon and it works because conda activate base activated Python environment just AFTER the debugger FAILED to start.

Thank you.
