Hi Spongman (@Spongman) , thank you for reporting this issue. We tried to check this issue on Visual Studio Code v1.131.0 + CMake Tools v1.23.52. But we can't reproduce this issue. Could you help to take a look at it? If we missed something, please let us know. In order for us to investigate this further, could you please provide a sample project and the detailed repro steps to us? Thanks.
