Description

Type: Bug

If there is more than 1 solution file in a folder, when I do Open Folder nothing happens.

I know I am supposed to see a popup, but I see nothing.

Incidentally - if I uninstall the C# Dev Kit and .NET Maui extensions then the popup starts to show again (but then nothing happens when I select a solution).

Extension version: 0.5.50
VS Code version: Code 1.84.2 (Universal) (1a5daa3a0231a0fbba4f14db7ec463cf99d7768e, 2023-11-09T10:52:33.687Z)
OS version: Darwin arm64 23.1.0

Research direction

Compare the behavior with those extensions disabled and verify that the solution-selection popup appears and that selecting a solution opens it successfully.
