Bug: A folded method also hides empty lines after it

[lonix1]

• VSCode Version: 1.25.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Steps to Reproduce:

1. In a c# file
2. Fold a method
3. It will be folded, along with empty lines after it

Example before folding:

public void foo() {
  // some code...
}
                               // this empty line will be hidden when folding "foo()"
                               // this empty line will be hidden when folding "foo()"
                               // this empty line will be hidden when folding "foo()"
                               // this empty line will be hidden when folding "foo()"
public string Bar { get; set; }

Example after folding:

public void foo() { ...
public string Bar { get; set; }

I've marked this as a bug, rather than a request, because this is not how folding works with Visual Studio - which only folds code, not whitespace after it. And I assume you're aiming for parity with the IDEs, at least for c# anyway.

This is a really annoying problem, because when code is folded everything is buched up together and you can't visually separate between them - which is why you'd use empty lines between them.

I'm guessing you have the C# extension installed.

This issue is caused by an extension, please file it with the repository (or contact) the extension has linked in its overview in VS Code or the marketplace for VS Code. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

@kieferrm I use c# yes. I don't understand - isn't this a problem with the IDE?

[kieferrm]

@lonix1 VS Code out of the box does not have any deep C# knowledge. If you have the C# extension installed, the C# extension provides VS Code with the knowledge about which ranges are folding ranges. Thus, the issue you describe is with the extension, not with VS Code proper.

@kieferrm Thanks I get it now
