The result of automatic language recognition is wrong #176487

Type: Bug

After creating a new file (not saved, thus the file has no extension), enter 25 empty lines, then enter some Chinese in the first and 10th lines, the Chinese sequence is like: "${some Chinese}${Chinese semicolon}${some other Chinese}" (Note that it is not an English semicolon) , VS Code will automatically identify the programming language as 'docker', which is very wrong, because there is no English semicolon and comma in the entire text, which does not conform to the docker syntax at all.

In addition to the Chinese semicolon that lead to identification as Docker language, Chinese comma will often be recognized as INI language. This error occurs so often, that I frequently want to smash the computer. Most of the time, I just write a note, I don't need any grammar correction and highlight at all.
