@thomascrocker Can you try installing https://github.com/karrtikr/vscode-python/suites/5930400930/artifacts/202870711 and see if it fixes the issue? Use Extension: Install from VSIX command to install the VSIX.

Hiya,

I’ve not installed the VSIX. A recent batch of centrally installed system updates updated my python extension to v2022.4.1. Using this version the debugger appears to work correctly. I get the output below in the debugging terminal that launches, and the use of breakpoints, stepping through code etc. works as expected in the IDE.
