It seems like you encountered a temporary glitch that got resolved after restarting Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

If you change the height of the terminal at the bottom (so that it occupies a large amount of the screen), then you kill the terminal and then Right-click to run Python file in Terminal, it will work. It is a Terminal rendering issue.

Maybe I'm late to the party, but this is what fixed it for me:

  • Configure VSCode to use cmd.exe as the terminal (settings.json):

    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",

  • Open cmd.exe

  • Go to default settings

  • Make sure "[V] Use legacy console" is checked

  • OK, OK, restart VSCode

I guess you'll lose some new console features, but I don't use any of them anyway, so for me - this solved the problem.

I noticed the same problem with PS and other console implementations (because the root cause is likely here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/270, as people here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/57803 eventually realized), but at least I found a way to solve it with cmd.exe.

Hope this helps.
