How can I solve this bug? I cannot run projects because of my terminal does not open, it closes by itself, any idea on how to solve this?  
The only solution I have found is creating a new project, but if the current project is big, it would be a problem to move the files to a new workspace.

Thanks for flagging this, @Guido_Pastorino - we are looking into this. In the interim, does @romannurik’s suggestion here work:

> [@IDX auto closing the terminal on Python virtual enviroments](https://community.firebasestudio.dev/t/idx-auto-closing-the-terminal-on-python-virtual-enviroments/962/9):

> Only workaround I’ve found so far is to just press and hold Cmd+Shift+Tilde (or Ctrl+Shift+Tilde on Linux/Mac) until one of the terminals stays up. Super weird.

Thanks @kirupa !!  
I have found a solution, it was solved by just holding down the following keys:

1. ControlLeft
2. ShiftLeft
3. Semicolon

(or the command to create a new terminal)

until a new bash terminal appears, and it works really good!! I recommend doing this when facing this bug.
