"Launch" no longer reuses the previous terminal

[birgersp]

Type: Bug

Prior to the most recent update (the most recent being 1.88), I could;

• launch my NodeJS program
• move the terminal to my second monitor
• stop the program
• re-launch the program, and it would be relaunched in the terminal I already moved to the second monitor

However, now launch closes the previously opened terminal. It then opens a new terminal, which is in the panel. So I have to move the terminal to the second monitor, every time I (re)launch the program.

Is this something you can fix? Or is my only option to downgrade VSCode?

If not fixable, would it be possible to add a feature in VSCode where launching programs would not open in the panel, but open in a separate window (but still use VSCode internal terminal)?
