Description
Describe the issue
Hi team,
I’ve been running into a few ongoing issues with the Testing Explorer:
Clicking a specific test in the left pane sometimes runs the entire test suite instead
At times it reports that no tests were run after clicking a test
The “Run test” icon in the editor appears inconsistently
Overall it feels a bit unreliable at the moment. Happy to help with diagnostics - let me know what logs or details would be useful and how to capture them. Thank you.

Research direction
Start in the Testing Explorer and editor test actions, reproducing the reported cases: a selected test runs the full suite, no tests run, and the “Run test” icon disappears. Collect the requested logs and environment details, then use them to isolate a reproducible failure; done means each symptom has a confirmed cause or a documented diagnostic path.
