In WSL, the setting can be found by looking in the table of contents while the scope selector is on the User or Remote scopes.
However, the setting does not appear when searching in the Settings editor while the scope selector is on the User scope 🐛.

This issue seems to be as-designed or a reappearance of microsoft/vscode-remote-release#2.

Here's what we have:

• python-envs.terminal.autoActivationType is a machine-scoped setting.
• machine-scoped settings fail the tougher USER_LOCAL matchesScope check on remote environments.

Why does the setting show in the list without a search then?
