Custom foreground colors for the editor affects the Debug Console

[mateusabelli]

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

• VS Code Version: 1.131
• OS Version: Fedora Workstation 44

Its necessary to use these color customizations in order to hide the squiggly lines in vscode. It works, but it is also affecting the Debug Console text, making the text there invisible.

I have tested with all extensions disabled (except golang which is the debugger itself)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use these settings:

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorError.foreground": "#00000000",
    "editorWarning.foreground": "#00000000",
    "editorInfo.foreground": "#00000000",
  }

2. Then, run a debug session that displays info/warnings text, it will be invisible.

I acknowledge that this is in fact a hack to a missing option that not many users would want (no squiggly lines, but full problems/lsp diagnostics).

However, I think that since the customizations are being made under a editor key, it should not affect anything beyond the editor itself.

At the moment if one sets editorInfo.foreground it will affect by default debugConsole.infoForeground.

I have found a workaround to fix this, it requires manually setting the debug text to the corresponding theme's default values.

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorError.foreground": "#00000000",
    "editorWarning.foreground": "#00000000",
    "editorInfo.foreground": "#00000000",
    "[Light Modern]": {
      "debugConsole.infoForeground": "#0063d3",
      "debugConsole.warningForeground": "#bf8803",
      "debugConsole.errorForeground": "#e51400",
    },
    "[Dark Modern]": {
      "debugConsole.infoForeground": "#59a4f9",
      "debugConsole.warningForeground": "#cca700",
      "debugConsole.errorForeground": "#f14c4c",
    }
}

There are still some weird things happening, if you use this settings and hover over the debugConsole configs it will display Property debugConsole.infoForeground is not allowed. Still, it works.
