[gjsjohnmurray]

Did you change the debug.inlineValues setting?

[cirmic]

@gjsjohnmurray thanks for the suggestion!

Here my VS Code configuration:

I believe that the debug.inlineValues parameters has been changed on auto. For sure I didn't change it, so I believe it is something related to the release or the extensions.

The solution is to set debug.inlineValues to off and the yellow box disapper

[roblourens]

Maybe a change in the Python extension enabled this for auto, but you can disable the setting to hide them as you've found. Thanks @gjsjohnmurray!
