Description
There's a couple of issues:
- The "select a debug configuration" popup appears twice when creating a launch configuration
- Creating another configuration doesn't create a launch configuration in the
launch.jsonbut somehow does add an entry calledPython Debugger: Python File - Clicking the edit launch configuration button crashes. And after this, the extra launch configuration from
2.has disappeared again.
