pressin F5 does not trigger debugging the script / running the code / manually run code does not wipe the debug console

[Balky79]

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.18.1
Python Extension version: 0.80.0
Python Version: 3.4.2
OS and version: Windows 10

Actual behaviour

F5 or Control F5 does not react when I want to start debugging/running my python script
Clicking ">Python" in the tray, then Debug in Python on top of the screen works, but it does not clean "Debug Console" window anymore.

Expected behaviour

The script should run as it was running in Vscode 1.17, when keys are used.
Debug screen should be cleared on each run, or configurable.

Steps to reproduce:

open python script in vscode.
Press "F5" to debug it
Press "Ctrl F5" to run it

Logs

Output from Python output panel

Output from Console window (Help->Developer Tools menu)

No logs whatsoever, it just does nothing.
