2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.

  1. braille board and voice over on mac: This issue highlights a bug in Visual Studio Code where the VoiceOver cursor text is not synchronized with the braille display on macOS, causing significant productivity challenges for blind developers. The user requests a fix for this issue, emphasizing the potential benefits for the blind developer community.

    • The comments discuss the need for a screen recording to demonstrate the issue, suggest disabling certain settings, and explore whether the problem is due to configuration errors. Users share experiences with similar setups, and troubleshooting steps are provided, including checking screen reader mode and ensuring proper configuration of VoiceOver and the braille display.
    • Number of comments this week: 24
  2. Custom instructions is badly broken in the latest build.: This issue is about a bug in the latest build of VS Code Insiders, where custom instructions defined in a non-root folder are not being recognized by custom prompts, causing them to search the codebase incorrectly and fail to locate the necessary instruction files. The problem requires users to manually add custom instructions each time they run a prompt, disrupting workflows that rely on these instructions, which previously worked seamlessly in earlier versions.

    • The comments discuss the issue of custom instructions not being recognized due to changes in how external files are handled, with suggestions to add a workspace folder or ensure the use of the .instructions.md file extension. The user confirms the use of the correct file extension and provides directory structure details, while seeking a solution for using common instructions across multiple projects without manual copying.
    • Number of comments this week: 9
  3. VScode Insiders latest build Co-Pilot snaps out of existence once in a while: This issue describes a problem with the latest build of VS Code Insiders where the Co-Pilot chat agent unexpectedly clears the current thread, causing all changes to disappear and leaving the chat history blank. The problem seems to have started with a recent update, and the user is unable to consistently reproduce the issue or locate logs to provide further information.

    • Users report that the issue occurs randomly and frequently after the latest update, with the chat agent clearing changes and history. Some users speculate it might be related to memory or data transfer issues, and they express difficulty in capturing logs. One user mentions that switching to the release build resolves the issue, indicating it is specific to the Insiders build.
    • Number of comments this week: 9
  4. Support Windows package identity to ensure device permissions: This issue addresses the need to support Windows package identity to ensure that device permissions, specifically microphone permissions, are retained for VS Code Speech functionality. The discussion involves exploring solutions to manage AppxPackage manifests to maintain necessary privacy controls and device capabilities on Windows installations.

    • The comments discuss issues with the RemoveAppxPackage command causing errors, the optional nature of the current AppxPackage manifest, and the need for privacy controls. Suggestions include using multiple manifests or hiding commands, with references to relevant documentation. The conversation concludes with a solution involving adding DeviceCapability for the microphone and ensuring the package identity covers the necessary applications.
    • Number of comments this week: 8
  5. Dev Containers fails to start on VS Code 1.102.0 with TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'filesToOpen'): This issue describes a problem where Dev Containers fail to start on Visual Studio Code version 1.102.0, resulting in a TypeError related to reading 'filesToOpen' as null. The error appears to be introduced in the latest VS Code update and affects the standard workflow with Dev Containers, although downgrading to version 1.101.2 resolves the issue.

    • Multiple users confirm experiencing the same error, with some reverting to an earlier VS Code version as a temporary fix. A potential cause is linked to a recent code change, and specific actions like switching containers or opening folders in containers reproduce the issue. A suggested workaround involves opening the local folder first before reopening it in a container.
    • Number of comments this week: 7

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

  1. Notebook>Outline: Show Code Cell Markdown: This issue is a feature request for Visual Studio Code to support generating markdown from code cells, similar to how JupyterLab handles dynamic content in its Outline feature. The request suggests that code-generated markdown should be rendered and displayed after the cell, allowing for dynamic titles and content to be included in the Outline, enhancing the functionality for users who rely on dynamic content generation.
  2. Using a vscode:// link with ?new-window or ?reuse-window still hijacks existing window: This issue describes a bug in Visual Studio Code where using a vscode:// link with the parameters ?new-window or ?reuse-window does not function as expected, as it hijacks the existing window instead of opening a new one. The problem occurs when a user is connected to a remote server and attempts to open a link to another server, resulting in the disconnection from the current server and replacement of the window with the new server's connection.
  3. ${userHome} in a task command creates bad paths: This issue involves a problem with the ${userHome} variable in a task command within a tasks.json file, which results in incorrect path formatting when the task type is set to "process". The incorrect path causes an error stating that the terminal process could not be started because the path to the executable does not exist, whereas using ${env:USERPROFILE} instead of ${userHome} resolves the issue by generating the correct path format.
  4. Terminal in Floating Window Does Not Echo Characters in Real Time When Remotely Connected: This issue describes a problem where characters typed in a terminal window, when moved to a floating window during a remote connection, do not appear in real time if the main window is minimized. The characters only become visible once the main window is restored, suggesting a potential issue with the remote connection entering a "sleep" state when the main window is minimized.
  5. Unicode character displayed as a question mark ?: This issue involves a problem where a Unicode character, specifically the full-width quotation mark (U+FF02), is displayed as a question mark when copied into Visual Studio Code (VS Code) on Fedora 39, despite being correctly rendered in browsers like Firefox. The problem persists even when all extensions are disabled, indicating a potential bug in VS Code version 1.87.2 related to Unicode character rendering.
