Description

Hello,

I had some strange happenings going on in my VS Code:

  • source control tab would stop tracking changes... modified files wouldn't update the changed files list on this tab. clicking on a file to showdiff would also not do anything.
  • vs vim would stop working
  • intellisense and autocomplete would break

I looked everywhere for errors pertaining to this issue but couldn't find any anywhere.

I eventually started disabling all my extensions one-by-one. When I disabled this one, everything started working find again.

I wanted to report the issue here to make you aware. I'm sorry I don't have more information.
