Vscode-docker: Attaching shell does not focus terminal

Created on 16 Oct 2020 · 5Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-docker

Steps to reproduce on macOS:

Start up some Docker container that runs indefinitely.
Shift+Cmd+P (or whatever opens the command picker on other systems besides macOS)
Select "Docker Containers: Attach Shell"
Select the container

Expected behavior: A terminal is opened and I can type in it right away.
Actual behavior: A terminal is opened but it is out of focus. I have to click on the terminal to be able to type in it.

Other commands that open a terminal (like "Debug: Create Javascript Debug Terminal") focus it per default.

I found the root cause and the fix should be quite simple.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue, what has focus in the bottom pane when it happens for you?

Got the same issue. When the focus is on the code editor before opening, the code editor keeps the focus. When I have another terminal focused, the focus completely disappears.
