Is there a work around?

Interesting, I’ve never seen that error at all.

Per when 2 vscode instance are open getting error "The connection to the terminal's pty host process is unresponsive, the terminals may stop working" · Issue #117542 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub and Often getting full window hangs · Issue #71966 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub it says this occurs though when one kills the terminal session with the trash icon?
