Source code downloaded via the debuggers sourceRequest creates lots of duplicate open files across debug sessions

See original GitHub issue

If I debug into a source file that is downloaded from the debugger (via sourceRequest) and then stop the debug session and repeat the same thing again, VS Code opens a second copy of the source (even though the name/contents are identical).

After a few debug sessions, I end up with this:

As far as I can tell, nothing is different about these files (besides the sourceReference) so I would expect VS Code to reuse the same existing file the next time they’re required (I actually thought this is what it did in the past, though I’m not certain).
