Description
Hi,
I installed the R extension in VS Code. I noticed that after a while, I had dozens of ports in my ports tab. Only one is actually active, but I noticed that every time I run "code ." in my WSL/Ubuntu terminal, a new port is created. I nailed it down to languageserver, as it only happens if there is an .R file in the folder being opened in VS Code, and new ports are not created if I disable languageserver in the settings ("r.lsp.enabled": false).
Is it possible to tell the languageserver to stick to one port only? Or is this a problem of my VS Code config?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in VS Code on WSL/Ubuntu: open a folder containing an .R file with code ., then compare it with "r.lsp.enabled": false and inspect the language-server startup and port configuration. Done means repeated VS Code launches do not leave additional language-server ports while language-server features still work.
