.env values incorrectly loaded when '=' is in the value string

[avramdjo]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

expected:

$ echo $A
B=C

actual:

$ echo $A
B

Steps to reproduce:

create an .env file within the workspace as follows:

After opening a terminal session within vscode, and automatically loading the .venv, the .env file is automatically sourced as well.
