Description

Issue Type: Bug

Occasionaly my python interpreter stops working, it no longer detects mistyped variables, functions, or doesnt classify and color them. It basically turns into a text editor, restarting VS solves the problem, though it is still annoying.

VS Code version: Code 1.66.1 (8dfae7a5cd50421d10cd99cb873990460525a898, 2022-04-06T14:50:12.141Z)
