Environment data
Expected behaviour
Python kernel process should be killed when the Jupyter interactive window is closed or VS code is closed.
Actual behaviour
The python process created by a Jupyter interactive window keeps running after VS Code is closed/quit. Once VS Code is closed, this zombie process appears to have about 100% CPU usage (i.e. it is using about 100% of one core on my Mac). The process continues with this high CPU usage indefinitely and has to be killed manually in Activity Monitor.
If I close the Jupyter interactive window in VS Code, the process only goes to 100% CPU when I subsequently close VS Code itself. The issue happens when I either close the VS Code window, or quit VS Code completely (right click > quit in dock).
