"The connection to the terminal's pty host process is unresponsive, the terminals may stop working"

[renzedj]

Issue Type: Bug

I regularly receive the following error in VSCode, whether I have a terminal open or not:

The connection to the terminal's pty host process is unresponsive, the terminals may stop working

It is to the point where the terminal is unusable. I have done an extension bisect, and it occurs with all extensions disabled. I've also done a fresh install of the latest version of VSCode and it occurs even with no additional extensions installed.

Note that in the information below I have installed a few of my frequently-used extensions back into VSCode.

@meganrogge - Please reopen. #130320 references a Windows solution, but this setting does not exist for macOS.

@drenze-athene what will work for you is to set terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions to false

That did not work, continuing to get these errors.
