Vscode-r: Starting R terminal with Python extension loaded causes problems

[hongooi73]

Describe the bug

I'm not sure whether this is a bug with the R or Python extension, or both.

When I run the "Create R terminal" command, and the Python extension is active, I end up with extraneous text in the terminal pane.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have this extension and the MS Python extension installed
2. Have a folder with both .R and .py files present
3. Open a .py file (this loads vscode-python)
4. Open a .R file (this loads vscode-R)
5. With the .R file active, run "Create R terminal"

This results in the following text being sent to the terminal (it's used by the Python extension)

R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22) -- "Taking Off Again"
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32 (64-bit)
r$> C:/Users/hongo/Miniconda3/Scripts/activate
Error: unexpected '/' in "C:/"
r$> conda activate base
Error: unexpected symbol in "conda activate"
r$>

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 2004
• VSCode Version: 1.46.1
• R Version: 4.0.2
• vscode-R version: 1.4.2

Additional context

• vscode-python version: 2020.6.90262
• using Radian as the rterm

Hi @hongooi73, this is caused by the Python extension. I created an issue for it: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/11963
