Code finishes fully executing after 'Disconnect' / Shift-F5 / terminate debugging

[PeterMuhlberger]

I recently ran into this: While doing a little step-through debugging with the vscode Python Debugger (extension), I tried to terminate the debugger by pressing the icon to disconnect the debugger. Instead of ending with a KeyBoardInterrupt as usual, the code after the breakpoint ran completely, creating quite a mess. The same problem occurs if I use Shift-F5, but not when I use the small square that terminates cell execution. I've tried a wide range of possible fixes to the problem, but it persists.

Before going any further, I should ask if this is the right place to report this problem and whether I should report it directly to Issues here? Beyond this: has anyone else run into this? Any suggested solutions?

(I've tried, among other things: Reinstalling my Python and Jupyter extensions; installing 2 month old versions of these extensions (before this problem started happening); disabling other extensions; inserting the default launch.json file in my workspace; trying to see if the problem occurs in a new notebook file outside the workspace I encountered the problem initially (it does); checking if setting the breakpoint above the initial line still causes continued code execution (it does); looking for potentially problematic lines in settings.json (saw none)).

@PeterMuhlberger I created this issue to track microsoft/debugpy#1686 . This is handled in the debugpy package.
