Due to the way we use Docker, I often see the "Cannot attach to container" when I open a workspace. Unfortunately none of the offered actions are appropriate, even after clicking "More Actions":

This is further compounded by the error being in a modal panel that doesn't allow access to the Command Palette (which does have options that are more helpful).

Possible solutions:

  1. Change the alert to be a non-modal message - so the Command Palette is available
  2. Add "Reload Window / Try Again" as an action

Since there are already 5 actions and I'm suggesting another, it would be nice if VSCode remembered which action was chosen last time and offered that as the default instead of "Start Container" (which, in my case, will never work).
