Persistent error : Could not find pty on pty host #210792
Description
VSCode over Windows 10, with Remote SSH extension to a remote Ubuntu v20. I've been running this configuration for many months. Remote extensions are acting a bit wonky. I can't tell if this is a recent issue, after an update, or within the last couple months. I'm just trying now to get extensions to work while installed remotely, and they are not, so I'm investigating causes.
While trying to diagnose that I found that on the every initial SSH connection that the Output : Window reports:
[error] Could not find pty on pty host: CodeExpectedError: Could not find pty on pty host

I believe this is the correct stack leading to that : ptyHostMain > ptyService > throw
I have been running the Release version of the Remote SSH extension but loaded the Pre-Release today to see if the issue was fixed. Nope.
It may or may not be related but I'm also struggling with SSH connection drops. The session will be fine for a long time, until "something changes" and then it goes into a reconnect state and cannot reconnect. I need to restart the connection. This also happens with no other extensions. I have other SSH sessions open to the same server:port/user and there are no drops. To my knowledge, only VSCode is experiencing issues.
The issues with extensions may or may not be related. My focus right now is only on this error from ptyHostMain. When this is resolved I'll move up the chain for the other challenges.
I do not see related issues noted in server logs but will activate and check debug logs if details are provided here.
The .vscode-server folder has been deleted and recreated many times. After closing the client-side app I've terminated the server pids.

I researched this issue in Issues here, in StackOverflow, and with other googling, but found nothing close to this previously reported.
Dunno what else I can add. I have full access to client and server and will be eager to provide info, and load and test patches.
Thanks.
