With Screen Magnifier enabled, on Select text with keyboard, screen focus goes at the beginning of current line.

[airstarh]

Type: Bug

I am half-blind programmer, who constantly uses Windows 10 native Screen Magnifier (SM). SM is adjusted to always follow Text Cursor.
When I've got your latest vscode version 1.101 I run into an issue: with screen zoomed I try to Select some text and focus of SM jumps in the very beginning of current line so I do not see what I am editting and what I am doing.
I double-checked that on another PC with clean installation - bug repeats.
I downgraded to version 1.100 - bug disappeared. Please, could you fix that?

Hi, thanks for the issue. Sorry that you're encountering it. If this is a confirmed regression, it would help to know which change caused it. We maintain a node.js based CLI tool vscode-bisect that automatically downloads and runs previous VS Code insiders and asks for each build if the issue reproduces. It takes up to 8 steps to find exactly the build that caused the regression.

Steps:

• install node.js (if not yet done)
• npx --yes @vscode/vscode-bisect@latest
• follow the instructions until you found the offending build (its fine to leave the commit empty)
• report back the commit range in this issue

Thanks!

[airstarh]

Thanks so much for you very fast response. However couple of questions are:

1. What exact Node.js version is needed? I can play with nvm.
2. Do I install your tool in the folder where vscode is installed, or globally or does not matter?

[meganrogge]

I am not sure which node verison is needed - maybe a recent one?

it doesn't matter where - probably global is best.

Thanks!
