Description

Description

If I change focus to another terminal, and then start a debug session, the debug console will not automatically get updated, even after it's re-focused.

Reproduction Steps

  • open Debug Console
  • change focus to another terminal
  • start a debug session
  • go back to the Debug Console and check the content
  • do something to trigger an update event

or

debug-console

Notice how the content gets updated only after I input Enter in the debug console.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the focus handling in the debug console view to ensure content updates automatically when the view regains focus. Look at the event listeners and update mechanisms in the debug console widget.
