                        "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                        "ignoreFailures": true
                    }
                ]
            }
		],
		"compounds": [
            {
                "name": "App1/App1",
                "configurations": ["App1", "App1"]
            }
        ]
    }
  1. Now select this launch configuration - App1/App2 and then Run.
  2. It launches both the application in two separate integrated terminal groups. All fine.
  3. Now stop the debugging for both the application.
  4. After stopping the debugging, the integrated terminal groups which were created will still be there.
  5. Now try launching the same configuration App1/App2 and you see only one of the application either App1 or App2 would get launched.

As you can see from the above picture that only one application - App1 is launched and the other application App2 didn't get launched.

This is an intermittent issue.

Additional context
