At first glance this appears that it would be an issue with the VS Code extension. I would recommend opening an issue here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues as well.

Unfortunately, in the https://githubfast.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues I raised the issue but did not receive confirmation or a solution. Both are open source projects from Microsoft, and I hope this issue can be taken seriously and resolved.

After further testing, the above issue only occurs on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 systems with OpenSSH installed, and does not exist on Windows 10 or higher systems. Is this an issue with OpenSSH or VSCode's Remote Development?
