vscode-bash-debug: Bash debugging does not start with Visual Studio Code 1.44.0

In addition to the details for issue, please provide us Executables information and Debug output unless you have confidence that they don’t help us.

Executables

Version of bash-debug: 0.3.7 Version of Visual Studio Code: 1.44.0-1 (on Arch Linux; latest Arch updates, kernel 5.6.4-arch1-1)

Output of following commands (on windows, execute them in Command Prompt or PowerShell):

Debug output

Paste here outputs in DEBUG CONSOLE (ctrl+shift+D or command+shift+D) with "showDebugOutput": true and "trace": true in launch.json. Your launch.json may looks like:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "bashdb",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Bash Debug",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/foo.sh",
            "showDebugOutput": true,
            "trace": true
        }
    ]
}

Details

Bash debugging does not start with the latest Visual Studio Code 1.44.0. With many older Visual Studio Code versions debugging has worked as expected. Downgrading to the previous Visual Studio Code 1.43.2-2 helps, debugging works with that as expected.

See more details at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/94982.

They claim that the Bash Debug extension is the cause, but they haven’t so far given any details on the issue.
