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.
-
Fails to launch any STDIO mcp servers after latest update: This issue reports a bug where VSCode fails to launch any STDIO MCP servers after the latest update, despite the command working correctly when run directly in the terminal. The problem persists across different environments, including devcontainers and WSL, and seems to be related to the PATH configuration not being recognized by VSCode during the initial connection to the container.
- The comments discuss potential causes and troubleshooting steps, including checking the PATH configuration and sharing logs for further analysis. A temporary workaround involves moving server configurations to the remote's settings.json file. The issue is acknowledged by the development team, who plan to release a patch to address the problem, with updates expected in the VS Code Insiders build.

-
Integrated Terminal content completely disappear after 15 min idle time.: This issue describes a problem where the content of the Integrated Terminal in Visual Studio Code disappears after 15 minutes of idle time, requiring the user to reset their working environment, which is a recent and disruptive occurrence. The user is seeking assistance to resolve this issue, possibly through changes in the settings.json file, as the problem persists even when all extensions are disabled.
- The comments discuss the problem's details, including steps to reproduce it and attempts to resolve it by adjusting settings like
terminal.integrated.windowsUseConptyDllandeditor.experimentalGpuAcceleration. Users suggest checking settings in the UI and disabling extensions to identify the cause, while the original poster seeks further clarification and instructions, noting that the issue is new and disruptive to their workflow. - Number of comments this week: 13
- The comments discuss the problem's details, including steps to reproduce it and attempts to resolve it by adjusting settings like
-
Incorrect
editor.suggest.showWordsreplacements for completion items if an LSP response takes too long: This issue involves incorrect behavior in the Visual Studio Code editor where theeditor.suggest.showWordssetting leads to improper replacements of completion items when a Language Server Protocol (LSP) response is delayed. The problem persists even when all other extensions are disabled, and it specifically affects the handling of word completions in HTML files, causing unexpected clobbering of text when using the editor's suggestion feature.- The comments discuss various attempts to reproduce and diagnose the issue, including disabling word completions, checking settings like
editor.suggest.insertMode, and using trace logging. A potential fix is proposed involving a change in how replacements are calculated, but concerns are raised about removing existing code that addresses other bugs. The conversation includes debugging efforts, AI-generated solutions, and plans to revisit the issue after a contributor's leave. - Number of comments this week: 12
- The comments discuss various attempts to reproduce and diagnose the issue, including disabling word completions, checking settings like
-
Windows "Unable to resolve your shell environment in a reasonable time." when launched via shortcut: This issue describes a bug encountered when launching Visual Studio Code from a shortcut in Windows, where an error message indicates that the shell environment cannot be resolved in a reasonable time, although this problem does not occur when launching from the command line. The user has attempted to troubleshoot by adjusting settings and using verbose logging, but the issue persists, particularly with PowerShell 7.5.1.
- Multiple users report experiencing the same issue, with suggestions to adjust timeout settings proving ineffective. Logs and command outputs are shared to diagnose the problem, and further logging is planned for future builds to help identify the root cause.
- Number of comments this week: 11
-
New Chat Mode Cannot Act as Agent Mode – Tools Unavailable: This issue reports a problem with the new Chat Mode feature in a GitHub project, where it fails to function like Agent Mode by not being able to create files, execute terminal code, or use built-in tools despite all tools being enabled. The user has confirmed that the issue persists even after multiple attempts and verifications, expecting Chat Mode to perform actions similar to Agent Mode.
- The comments reveal that multiple users are experiencing the same issue, with some noting that the problem occurs when using local custom prompts. A user identified that the tool name "editFiles" should be "insertEdit" for the feature to work correctly, which resolved the issue for others.
- Number of comments this week: 8
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.
- Notebook>Outline: Show Code Cell Markdown: This issue is a feature request for the VS Code project, seeking the ability to generate markdown from a code cell that is rendered in the output and displayed after the cell, similar to how JupyterLab handles dynamic content in its Outline feature. The request highlights the need for VS Code to either provide an option for this functionality or to adopt a behavior akin to JupyterLab, allowing titles generated by code to be included in the Outline alongside markdown cells.
- 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-windowor?reuse-windowdoes 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 clicking such a link causes the current remote connection to be replaced with a new one, rather than opening the new connection in a separate window. ${userHome}in a task command creates bad paths: This issue describes a problem in Visual Studio Code where using the${userHome}variable in a task command of type "process" results in incorrect path formatting, causing execution errors. The error occurs because the path is incorrectly formatted with a leading slash and backslashes, whereas using${env:USERPROFILE}provides the correct path format, allowing the task to execute successfully.- Terminal in Floating Window Does Not Echo Characters in Real Time When Remotely Connected: This issue describes a bug in Visual Studio Code where the terminal, when moved to a floating window during a remote connection, fails to display typed characters in real time if the main window is minimized. The problem does not occur with local terminals and seems to be related to the remote connection entering a "sleep" state, which prevents the terminal from updating until the main window is restored.
- Unicode character displayed as a question mark ?: This issue involves a bug in Visual Studio Code where a full-width quotation mark Unicode character (U+FF02) is incorrectly displayed as a question mark when pasted into the editor. The problem persists even when all extensions are disabled, and the character displays correctly in other applications like Firefox, indicating a rendering issue specific to Visual Studio Code.
