Yep it’s set to false by default (settings reference), so as long as you set it to true in your user settings you should be good to go 🙂

Closing as resolved.

@karthiknadig good to know, thanks.

For what it’s worth, renaming the venv is not the root cause here, only something I tried as a resolution.

I’ve been able to recreate this issue with all of my python projects, all using their own newly created venv folders.
