See microbit-foundation/python-editor-v3#89 Ultimately this needs a fix in DAPLink to clear the queue on reset but that won't have much impact on existing devices.

Ultimately this needs a fix in DAPLink to clear the queue when the host reconnects but that won't have much impact on existing devices.
Repro steps via the demo:
The disconnect on tab visibility has been a long-standing workaround and these disconnects play an important role in letting folks use multiple micro:bit apps. So on the apps branch we now have an explicit PAUSED state as an optional feature of the USB connection (on by default to play nice across apps). Apps can handle PAUSED differently from DISCONNECTED (e.g. Python can not clear serial scrollback for PAUSED).
