Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce this on my end, but I did have some questions that might help us diagnose this further:

  1. How large/complex is the file in question? If possible, would you be willing to share it?
  2. Does this reproduce will a simple file that contains only 2-3 lines of code?
  3. When in this state, does the command window terminal response at all if you try to run a simple command like ">> x=1"?
  4. Does this issue reproduce every time for this file, or is it sporadic?
  5. Finally, as a quick test: Close VS Code and open a fresh instance, then run a simple command like ">> x=1". Does this issue reproduce if you try to format that file now without running it first?
