I would guess this needs to be filed with the extension, but we should test VS Code and Codespaces to make sure it is not somehow a problem in code-server.

Thank you for your reply @code-asher!
I thought the same later on and i opened a question on python extension repo. microsoft/vscode-python-debugger#363

I will close this for now since I think there is nothing we can fix on code-server's side, but we can reopen if that changes.
