Visual Studio Code: Debugging of Jupyter Notebooks not working

Question

Unfortunately I am not able to debug Jupyter Notebooks in Visual Studio Code. Maybe somebody has an idea why?

Detailed description:

• After pressing "F5" the debugger (popup) starts as expected. Everything seems to run fine. "Only" that it doesn't stop at my breakpoints.
• Debugging normal (i.e. non-jupyter-notebook) python scripts works without problems.
• I have added the line '"jupyter.experimental.debugging": true,' to my 'settings.json'.
• I use the latest VScode version 1.60.2.
• There is only one python version installed on my laptop. Namely the latest anaconda distribution. I've also runned "conda update anaconda", "conda update python" and "pip install ipykernel". It shows that I use "ipykernel: 6.2.0".
