Visual Studio Code – When debugging python with vscode, the file opened by the debugger is not in preview mode

I’m using vscode version 1.71, but I’ve searched for a long time and can’t find the corresponding option to enable this feature.

I remember that the files opened in debugging were in preview mode by default.

    As explained in VSCode documentation, you should add/modify the following attributes in your setting.json file:

    "workbench.editor.enablePreview": true,
"workbench.editor.enablePreviewFromQuickOpen": true

    I confirmed that the behavior you described is happening, debugging in both Python and Java (so it’s not necessarily extension specific), even with all 4 enablePreview settings checked.

    Apparently this was reported as a bug and fixed back in 2017:
    Files opened by debugger are not in preview mode #34624

    But apparently it’s back, from my observation. So at least you’re not going crazy, or if you are then both of us are.
