Native Notebook -- switching tabs causes kernel to restart (in wrong working dir)

Bug: Native Notebook -- switching tabs causes kernel to restart (in wrong working dir)

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Open a notebook using "Open in preview Notebook Editor"
2. Open a .py file
3. Execute some cells in the notebook an save.

%load_ext autoreload
%autoreload 2
%matplotlib inline
from glob import glob
import os; print(os.getcwd())
import socket; print(socket.gethostname())

4. Go to the py file and back to the notebook quickly

Actual behavior

A switching kernel notification quickly pops up and the kernel is restarted in the wrong working directory.

Expected behavior

The kernel should not restart or change working directory.

Your Jupyter and/or Python environment

Extension version: v2020.8.103604

Please could you ensure you have the latest insider version of the python extension.
Doesn't look like you do.

Sorry, I thought I was up to date:)

I switched to the python insiders daily and installed v2020.9.103436-dev, (and restarted everything), but then the python extension did not activate (and Jupyter notebooks do not open at all in the editor). Changing back to v2020.8.103604 solved the problem.

What version should I install (and is there something I'm dong wrong?)

[ajasja]

The error I get is that I can't even select the interpreter in v2020.9.103436-dev.

[ajasja]

It seems to be a remote SSH issue, the v2020.9.103436-dev works in local. Should I open a different issue for this?

[ajasja]

Can not reproduce the kernel switching behavior in v2020.9.104154-dev.
