features not enabled for devcontainer started indirectly from docker compose

[arafubeatbox]

prerequisites

I have two devcontainers configured in a single repository, based on https://code.visualstudio.com/remote/advancedcontainers/connect-multiple-containers.

Both devcontainer.json files are pointed to a single docker-compose.yml, so when I create one of the devcontainers via vscode, the other also gets created. I switch between the containers during development using the Dev Containers: Switch Container vscode command.

Both devcontainers have their own features configured.

the problem

Only the container that I first create via vscode (which container to choose is irrelevant) has features enabled, and when I switch to the other container, it does not have any of the features enabled.
