When activating python extension, you see "Reactivating Terminal" in the status bar, and it does not go away.

Workaround:

• Add the following to your User settings.json, and Reload VS Code:

    "python.experiments.optOutFrom": ["pythonTerminalEnvVarActivation"]

• If that does not resolve the issue, try running this command from the command palette: Python: Clear cache and reload.
• If that does not resolve the issue, try setting python.locator to js.
