Extra line feeds in VS Code debug console

Question

Since upgrading to VS Code 1.33.1, the debug console appears to be adding extra line feeds to output. For example, the following python code:

print("I think", "I can.")

...prints in either the external or integrated terminals correctly as:

"I think I can."

...but in the debug console, it prints as:

"I think"

"I can."

I do not recall the debug console behaving like this previously. Is this the expected behavior or is this a bug in the debug console?
