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 Visual Studio Code to support generating 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, enhancing the functionality and user experience in VS Code.
- 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 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. ${userHome}in a task command creates bad paths: This issue describes a problem in Visual Studio Code where using the${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 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.
- Unicode character displayed as a question mark ?: This issue involves a bug in Visual Studio Code where a Unicode character, specifically the full-width quotation mark (U+FF02), is incorrectly displayed as a question mark when copied into the editor. The problem persists even when all extensions are disabled, and contrasts with the correct display of the character in web browsers like Firefox.
