Description

I am logged into the AWS toolkit and it is working fine. I logout and then try to login with a new connection.

Clicking the "new connection" I want to use, highlights it, but I can not actively select it. All I can do is keep highlighting it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the logout and new-connection flow in Visual Studio Code with the AWS Toolkit, using the reported Windows 10/WSL, VS Code 1.90.0, and Toolkit 3.11.0 details. Inspect the QuickPick login entry point and verify that choosing a highlighted new connection selects it on the first click; confirm the fix by repeating the flow after logout.
