Terminal always starts with a warning sign

Type: Bug

I don't know if this is a bug or intended.

When I open a `.ps1` file, the PowerShell Extension automatically opens a Terminal. The terminal is required to run in the background to provide PowerShell language features. The problem is that the Terminal always shows a warning sign after it was launched for the first time after VSCode was started.

It says, the Python extension wants to relaunch the Terminal to contribute to its environment.

Why does Python not contribute when the Terminal is launched for the first time? Why do I always have to relaunch the Terminal?

It seems to be an incompatibility between these two extensions. I have only two extensions installed: The official Python extension and the official PowerShell extension from Microsoft. I was waiting for a couple of minutes after I started VSCode. All my extensions had enough time to start up.

I'm not sure if this is VSCode's fault, the Python extension's fault or the PowerShell extension's fault.
