Expected behaviour

If you save off you project with a terminal active, next time you start the project:
On initial load the terminal does not honor python.pythonPath

If I close the terminal and start a new on it does.

Actual behaviour

my python.pythonPath is not loaded when project is loaded

Steps to reproduce:

create a python venv in windows.
create a .vscode/settings.json with a single entry aka:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "C:\\venvs\\winapp-lra\\Scripts\\python.exe"
}

Hi @fenchu! Thank you for reporting this. When you say the python.pythonPath is not loaded, do you mean the virtual environment is not activated on the terminal that was first opened? If so, this is the current behavior, and then this issue would actually be a feature request. However, if you mean that the interpreter displayed in the status bar doesn't match the one in your settings.json file, then that's a bug and we'd need some more information to investigate what's going on.

Would you mind showing what is displayed on your status bar?
