Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

I have the following problem when trying to launch and execute Python code in the integrated terminal of my VSCode or even when I simply try to open it. The terminal opens for a few seconds and then automatically closes (crashes) and a popup warning appears indicating Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'show'). Attached are images.

The console developper tools is:

Thanks for filing an issue! Are you saying you are able to get the same error both when simply trying to open Python file (and not execute anything), and also when you shift+enter to execute selection/line?

Not only do I have the problem when I try to execute a line of code (Shift+Enter). When I open the file, everything goes well. I also have the problem when I simply try to open the integrated terminal in any other way, even if I don't execute any line of code.

Do you know what your default shell is? I assume you are clicking "New Terminal" instance and not "Launch Python REPL" via control+shift+p?

For some reason, I have updated (I was updating it every day and now I no longer have the problem), to answer your last comment, it happened in both cases when opening the Python REPL and a terminal. I am using GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (arm64-apple-darwin22) If you think so, we can close the ticket.
