After the VSCode March 2024 Update I noticed that when I open a new Terminal with automatic Python environment activation it is showing the prompt with two sets of parenthesis:

((.venv) ) myuser@ubuntu23:~/src/myapp$

Where before it was:

(.venv) myuser@ubuntu23:~/src/myapp$

The above is also what I get when I activate the environment manually.

source .venv/bin/activate

I’m running the Terminal in VSCode through a remote SSH connection.

There’s been no changes to the host box and my application seems to run without issues, but it’s just odd.

I’ve tried removing and recreating the .vscode-server and .vscode directories on the remote host and letting VSCode recreate them.
