A little on the random side, but curious if others have seen this. In our repos, we typically have a

venv

folder at the repo root. When I open the repo root in vscode, no matter how I change the interpreter, it seems to automatically select

venv

as the virtual environment its going to use. If I rename

venv

to something silly like

some-venv

, I can freely switch interpreters and vscode seems to actually use them (and not lie about it).
