explorer.openEditors.visible is not "the maximum number of Open Editors shown". #181067

Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.77.3
  • OS Version: MacOS

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Settings: search for "explorer.openEditors.visible"
  2. The description says:
    Explorer › Open Editors: Visible
    The maximum number of editors shown in the Open Editors pane. Setting this to 0 hides the Open Editors pane.

Note that dragging the Open Editors pane resizing bar, the pane will show any/all the Open Editors (not limited in size by this setting), but the resize bar will not make the pane smaller than the setting of explorer.openEditors.visible.
So the doc string is incorrect; the setting controls the minimum number of Open Editors to be displayed.
Or maybe it is some "initial" number to be displayed? but the resize bar controls the maximum number displayed.

If it is just the docstring is wrong, it's a simple string-replace; if the intent/semantics is wrong then IDK...
