Research direction

Reproduce the sequence by opening the debugger sidebar first, then selecting a different adapter in the "Debug Adapter Settings" dialog, and compare it with selecting the adapter before opening the sidebar. Trace the debugger sidebar and adapter-settings flow to find why the later selection is not applied; done means changing the adapter after the sidebar opens works as expected.

Description

bug Impact: Medium UI

If one wishes to select and use a different debug adapter type than the default one, it does not seem to work if one does so after opening the debugger sidebar. It works fine if the user opens the "Debug Adapter Settings" dialog before opening the debugger sidebar
