ASP.NET CORE MVC - HOT-RELOAD in launch.json acts buggy

Type: Bug

Folders and files:
~/.vscode/launch.json
~/ProjectFolder/Properties/launchSettings.json

WHEN setting a configuration in launch.json for running a watch-command (with hot-reload), "AND" setting the parameter "launchSettingsProfile": "xxxxx"

THEN the desired launchProfile is only selected when there is a "comment" "somewhere" in the properties/launchSettings.json-file.

-----
WHEN there is no "comment" somewhere in the properties/launchSettings.json-file...

THEN the desired launchProfile set in the launch.json is NOT selected.

-----
It seems that,
IF the system can parse the properties/launchSettings.json-file properly,

THEN is doesn't take the launch.json specific configuration into account.

WHEN the system CAN'T properly parse the properties/launchSettings.json-file,

THEN it "does" take the launch.json specific configuration into account.

-----
What is going on here?
What am I doing wrong?
How can I properly create a hot-reload action WITH selecting a specific launchprofile configuration?

-----
I could just set a specific launchProfile in the properties/launchSettings,
and then set it as the first profile.
And call this with a vscode-task.
But then I don't use the lanch.json specific configuration functionality.
What is best practice here?
Or is this behaviour a bug?
