Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
Steps to Reproduce:
Small bash script to create the example project
Or for direct download: some_multi_language_project.zip
Run
code --disable-extensions some_multi_language_project/example.code-workspace
Work on a file. Notice that the source tree is unfolded in the Explorer view, and the currently active file is properly selected.
Press
<ALT>
+<TAB>
to switch to a different application, and<ALT>
+<TAB>
again to go back to VSCodeNotice that the source tree in the Explorer view has fully collapsed. The currently active file is not selected any more.
Note the problem doesn't seem to be fully deterministic. In the tiny example workspace it happens with perhaps ~50% probability. In a bigger real world workspace, it happens with more like ~95%.
From a practical point of view this issue is more disconcerting than I have expected initially, because every time it happens I feel like I have lost my orientation due to the fully collapsed source tree.
