VS Code pre-release does not reload code on restart of the debugger

[Emergency5779]

All of a sudden VS Code (preview) does not load changes made to the code, when restarting the debugger.

I have spent hours googling, but I have come up empty-handed. Can anyone enlighten me on what is going on. Is there a new config option to set whether the code is to be reloaded when restarting the debugger?

If I stop the execution of the script, and run the debugger again, the latest code changes are loaded.

So you're saying the process you are debugging is started, you have the debugger attach, you then edit code, save the file, and then the changes used to be picked up and now they are not? If you're attaching to a live process then code changes being picked up rely on the process handling that, e.g. Django or Flask automatically reloading to pick up the changes. Are you relying on such a mechanism?

I run the debugger, while the debugger is paused I edit and save the code. I then restart the debugger, but the adjusted code isn't loaded. It runs the code it loaded on the original run, which is different from what I have in the editor and in the file.

If I stop the debugger and start it again, instead of hitting the restart button, it loads the updated code.

I created https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/19623 for this.
