Python 3.x type hints in Visual Studio Code

I am using type hints in my Python 3 code. It seems VS Code cannot parse type hints correctly, because syntax highlighting gets messed up (docstrings not highlighted correctly, comments not recognized anymore).

I have all necessary extensions installed (Python and MagicPython plus Python for VSCode). Is there anything else I miss?

Brett's solution mentioned in a comment above worked for me:

You might have too many extensions installed. ;) Having Python and Python for VSCode could be interfering with each other.

When I removed Python for VSCode, syntax highlighting began to work correctly.

I had this problem too... I changed my linter to mypy and that seemed to fix it.
