Switching to an environment works differently in different situations

[PetrKryslUCSD]

Something doesn't quite work in VSCode with the environments. I set up an environment for examples and I run activate and instantiate in that folder, and it looks like this:

So the environment is correctly recognized (according to the bottom line in the editor), yet the symbols of FinEtoolsDeforLinear are not recognized. Others are, such as LinearAlgebra and so on.

On the other hand, if I open the examples folder Using the command File: Open Folder, at first sight everything looks identical (the environment at the bottom)

but something is different because now the symbols from FinEtoolsDeforLinear are recognized no problem (the hover gives documentation hints and so forth).

Finally, I explicitly select the examples environment (and the status bar at the bottom looks the same as above), yet the symbols from FinEtoolsDeforLinear are again not recognized.

This is with

I've also recently encountered this issue as well.
It's very strange but for some reason just transplanting the code from a malfunctioning environment to another working one would make it work just fine. Is there a way to clear the cache for a working directory for the linter to try again checking the dependencies and hopefully fix itself?
