Version 1.96 (again) does not connect to the container

• VSCode Version: 1.96
• Local OS Version: Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon
• Remote OS Version: Ubuntu 22
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: Containers/Distrobox

It was already resolved and it happened again.

The reason seems to be that vs code are not reading the settings to use podman an try to use docker.

See this issue for reference:
#10426

The same workarround can be used to solve temporarily:

• F1 -> Preferences: Open User settings (JSON).
• Put "dev.containers.dockerPath": "podman" in settings.
• Vscode warned that this configuration is out of scope but I ignored it.
• Try to attach to the container, and the connection was made as always.

To use Podman you currently have to set that setting. That's expected.

If this works in VS Code Insiders (if I read the other issue correctly), it probably has podman in its settings (VS Code stable and Insiders have separate settings).

I don't use VS Code insiders. I installed this version just to test if the problem had been resolved in this version, and it was.

Then I returned to the regular version where the problem was resolved in the previous update.

Now after the last update this has happened again.

To solve, I need to place the configuration in User settings, where VS Code itself informs me that it is not the correct place.

This also makes it clear that the configuration made in Application settings is being ignored, as it does not work without the configuration in User Settings.

User settings

Wrong place, but works

Application Settings

Correct place, but don't works
