STM32CubeIDE terminal gets permantly closed after terminating very first debug-session - power cycle only solution?

Hi,

still pretty, pretty new to STM32CubeIDE, I'm trying to understand how it works by doing little things. So right now I'm trying to combine both debugger with a terminal both running in STM32CubeIDE.

To include terminal in STM32CubeIDE I have followed instruction given here:

How to use the STM32CubeIDE terminal to send and receive data (Knowledge Base) 

So far, running a little test program, I was succesfull doing it at least for very first debug session (i.e. after power cycling the Nucleo-Board). I quit the debug session with the indicated button shown on attached figure below

However, when I start a debug session a second time, I get always(!) the same error message (see below)

Screenshot 2025-12-12 001907.png

The only way I found so far is to make a hard power cycle to the Nucleo-Board to make it connected in the STM32CubeIDE again.

Well, in STM32CubeIDE, because I also installed Tera Term and here everything is working fine. But actually I'm a fan of having thing in one application that can be in one.

So my question is: Is there a better way of connecting the terminal again in STM32CubeIDE after quitting a debug session?

Regards
