II. Issues

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.

As of our latest update, there are no active issues with ongoing comments this week.

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 the generation and display of markdown from code cells, similar to how JupyterLab handles dynamic content in its Outline feature. The request highlights the need for an option to render markdown generated by code cells in the output, allowing for dynamic titles and content to be displayed alongside markdown cells, enhancing the functionality and interactivity of notebooks in VS Code.
  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 fails to open a new window as intended, instead replacing the existing window with the new connection. 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 the connection being switched to the new server without opening a separate window.
  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 creates incorrect paths when the task type is set to "process" instead of "shell" in Visual Studio Code. The incorrect path format results in an error indicating that the terminal process could not be started because the path to the executable does not exist, whereas using ${env:USERPROFILE} instead of ${userHome} generates the correct path and resolves the issue.
  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 "sleep" state in the remote connection that prevents real-time updates.
  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 incorrectly as a question mark in Visual Studio Code. The problem persists even when all extensions are disabled, and the character displays correctly in other applications like Firefox, indicating a rendering issue within VS Code itself.
