Thanks for your feedback! We have recently released a new and more performant language server called Pylance which likely solves these issues you are reporting. You can download Pylance from the marketplace and install it alongside the core Python extension. Because our team's development efforts have shifted to support the new language server, we'd encourage you to try it out.
In the meantime, I'll transfer this issue over to the Microsoft Python Language Server repo for tracking. If you try out Pylance and this issue persists, you can open an issue on the pylance-release repo.
@luabud Thanks for the tip with Pylance. I had an issue with the latest update that marked all imports as "unresolved import". After installing the extension it works.
