"C/C++ Build and Debug Active File" and "F5" are causing the wrong build task to be run, i.e. the default build task is not run (it's using the pre-generated task)

@elahehrashedi The problem is that F5 (Build and Debug Active File) is causing the wrong build task to be run, i.e. the default build task is not run (it's using the pre-generated task). I see it working correctly when Run Build Task is used.

What are the repro steps for this issue? Is this from creating a new build task or from an existing one?

F5 or Build and Debug Active File -- with no tasks.json/launch.json.
