Debug source window closes prematurely when multiple jobs activate an SEP and one of the jobs finishes

[heymchri]

Scenario:

• SEP is set on a program
• Program gets called from job1 -> SEP debugger kicks in and shows the Debug source window for that program
• Program gets called from job2 -> SEP debugger kicks in - no additional Debug source window is shown, which is OK.
• You can simply switch between the debug session for both jobs by selecting the appropriate job from the dropdown list that shows (awesome!). The debug source view will show with the proper indication of where in the source the job is.
• When one of the jobs completes, the debug source view closes, although the other job is still active and in debug. This should not happen. When there's still another debug job active for that same program, the debug source window should not close yet. It should only close when the last debug job for that program ends.

We have a limitation that we cannot tell which editor is for which debug session, if two editors have the same title label. I think a better behaviour is to only close the active editor in this case.

[heymchri]

Hi @mkwan01 - there's actually only 1 Debug source tab - not 2. What I'm saying is that when the first debug job finishes, that debug source tab closes. It shouldn't close just yet, as the second job that's using that same tab is still active.

[mkwan01]

I am seeing two debug source tabs when I have two debug sessions hitting the same SEP. Let me know if your editor screen is different than mine.

[mkwan01]

If you only see one source tab for two debug sessions, there could be a difference in vscode editor settings.

[heymchri]

Hi @mkwan01 you are correct - I just tried this again and I do get 2 debug source tabs. Not sure how I came to think there was only one... :( . But the basic problem remains - both tabs get closed.
Since you can't distinguish between multiple tabs with the same name - would it be an option to append something to the first tab name when you open a second tab with the same name? E.g., add something like ':1' to the first tab, and ':2' etc. to the subsequent tabs, and keep track of which tab belongs with each job?
