This extension seems to always the Output tab when it finds the packages are not up to date with pubspec.yaml and hence auto-fetches the latest packages. (I assume it's an extension issue and not a general VS Code behavior from this comment: microsoft/vscode#34221 (comment))

In my case this happens always when I am actively doing something in the integrated terminal, but makes it especially jarring as it breaks my flow: E.g. after checking out another Git branch with a different pubspec it switches to the Output tab and I have to manually switch back before continuing in the terminal (for example in this case often creating a new branch).

Proposed Solution

Either

• Offer an option to disable the automatic switching
• Just show a notification in the usual success case instead

Thanks!
