Description

Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a
.vscode/*.code-workspaceproject with a.devcontainer. - F1 -> Reopen in Container
- Fails with horribly translated error message:
The workspace could fail to open in a container: Folder '/path/to/project' is not a subfolder of shared root folder '/path/to/project/.vscode'
Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: N/A
Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: N/A
Apparently, this is a regression, as it used to say "The workspace cannot be opened in a container. ...": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60241019
