Split down 2 pdf viewers buggy

[Astrantia]

Not sure if this is a bug within the vscode api, but trying to get a split down view for 2 different pdf viewers is impossible now or at least very buggy. When you split open a new pdf, the old pdf disappears. Is this related to how pdfs are served? Are they served on one port?

Released a new fix in 5.11.1.

@James-Yu doesn't work unfortunately :(

I cant seem to split open horizontally. Each time I try to split it horizontally, it is split vertically instead.

It works just correct on my side. If not working, please provide details.

But what's wrong with the behavior? A new panel is created and the original one does not disappear. You can drag the same or multiple pdfs in the new panel and both persist.

This is the best I can get. Until vscode allowed extensions to hook file types, this might be the best solution.
