[lg.lindstrom]

This is quite annoying for me. Sometimes ESP-IDF extension for VsCode stops working and all kind of strange errors turns up. Not always but sometimes,, and I can't see a clear way to avoid those errors.

1) Menyconfig hangs on startup. After issue the command to start it hangs as shown by picture below.
