There was a change in the default behavior. You can make it open in a separate window by using:
`GLMakie.activate!(inline=false)`

> In the most recent update (GLMakie 0.8.5 on Julia version 0.9.0) GLMakie no long…er opens a separate window when executing from a file in Visual Studio Code (Julia extension also on the latest version). Instead, plots open in a new tab in VS Code, like CairoMakie. I tested with a new environment with only GLMakie installed and generating a blank \`Figure()\`. I'm not sure if it's a Makie or VSC problem.

> Hello, I just updated my project’s dependencies and suddenly GLMakie displays my interactive plots in VSCode’s plot pane. Both Makie and GLMakie are at the latest versions. Was there any change as to how VSCode or GLMakie treats GLMalkie Screens ?
