Changing the kernel doesn't work for Interactive #7288
Description
Environment data
- VS Code version: 1.59.1
- Jupyter Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.8.1236758218
- Python Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.8.1159798656
- OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: Darwin x64 20.5.0
- Python and/or Anaconda version: Python 3.8.8
- Type of virtual environment used: conda
- Jupyter server running: Local
Expected behaviour
After switching the kernel (from 3.8.5 to 3.8.8), the button "Run cell" should execute the code in the 'Interactive' window using the newly selected Python.
Actual behaviour
The editor proceeds to next cell, but the 'Interactive' window tries to execute it using the original kernel.
Running the code directly from the Type code here and press Enter (...) works as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
Make two Python installations available to the jupyter - a default one without ipykernel installed, and another one with an ipykernel. Change the kernel in the 'Interactive' window.
Everything works well if the default python has the IPyKernel installed.
