NrfConnect extension in VSCode seems to ignore project Kconfig file

Hello, I've stumbled about a problem with the NrfConnect extension and Kconfig. It is quite simple: When a project directory contains a Kconfig file, it is used by west as the root of the Kconfig hierarchy rather than Kconfig.zephyr. There are several examples in zephyr/samples with such a Kconfig file.

However, with the NrfConnect extension, the Kconfig file is neither listed as an input file, nor taken into account when clicking on the Kconfig button. The dialogue opened is the same whether the Kconfig file is present or not, i.e. it is build from the Kconfig.zephyr root. If on the other hand I rightclick the button and choose menuconfig, the file is taken into account.

Any comments?

Regards,
