Opening multiple files simultaneously with line/col options only applies to last file

[johnnytemp]

• VSCode Version: 1.26.1
• OS Version: macOS

I'm one contributor of the extension "Open file" (by Frank Stuetzer).
The plug in allow open multiple files by selecting multiple lines like:

file1:line:column
file2:line:column

However, only the last opened file jump to the right position. It's using core option (showTextDocument's options.selection) so the bug is in vscode side. (Better fix this also for other tools' future use)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install extension (by Frank Stuetzer)
2. Paste the above lines with real existent files (and line & column numbers), and select two lines.
3. Press Alt+P to jump to both files.
4. Only one currently focused file has the right text-cursor position.

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

It seems Windows 1.27.1 and build from source (commit 0b8e208) on Windows has no such problem. Not sure if macOS specific.

This seems easier to happen on fewer RAM and slower PC. Originally, the problem was easily reproduced on Windows 10 32-bit 2GB RAM.

Recently, I have tested on Windows 10 64-bit, with 8GB RAM, and open 110 files (VSCode version 1.27.1). The first 19 files have the position not jumped, while the others can jump correctly.

I have used this command in a project to get the file paths to open:

grep --include='*.php' -rIPn -m 1 -w if | code -

And then "Select All" in the new file, right-click and trigger "Open file under cursor" from the "Open file" plug-in.

Thanks.

This ends up calling IEditorService.openEditor
