Conda environment activation does not respect settings

[AWH1122]

Type: Bug

Conda environment keeps activating even after disabling all related settings.

I have set "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": false in every scope as well as "python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": false.

all my conda environments have auto_activate_base set to false.

I have commented-out the conda init block in my zsh shell.

Conda is still automatically activated whenever I open a new integrated terminal.

I have just found out that if I go into a workspace with python files the setting is respected. However, if I go into a workspace with no Python files (I tested in a c++ workspace) the setting is not respected.
