Persistent code folding, cursor and screen positions in VSCode

[bproxauf]

When I open a .py file in VSCode Portable 1.79.2, fold any defined functions, close VSCode and open the same file again, the folded code blocks appear unfolded. Similarly, when I scroll to anywhere below the beginning of the file and set the cursor there, both the cursor position and the screen position (as in which part of the file is shown on the screen) are reset to the beginning (for the cursor first character) of the file. This is impractical when you are working on code not at the beginning of the file over multiple VSCode sessions.

The code folding issue, raised previously by another user under #169270, was closed due to lack of information, therefore I am raising a new issue.

I'm working with JavaScript files and I see all the code unfolded after VS Code restart. 😐

I tried to reproduce

• VS Code 1.85.1 in portable mode (on Linux)
• a simple python file with all functions folded
• close VS Code and reopen. Functions are still folded
• I also tried to with the Python extension installed, no difference

Make sure the data folder is writable. You should see files written in data/user-data/User/workspaceStorage. That's where editor state is stored.

Oh guys, I've found the problem.
Checked my third-party extentions, disabled Explicit folding and folding state is OK now after app restart.

Tried another extention and have the same issue. Anyone know the way to solve (I need the ending brackets folding)?
