[folding] folding indicators missing for folded code

[FBLANCOCOOGRANDA]

Issue Type: Bug

For some time the visual studio code has been blocked, it does not display the fragments of code.

Suppose I have a code fragment inside an if, when it is blocked accessing this code inside the if is impossible, it is necessary to close the visual code and re-enter sometimes it happens up to 10 times in the day

access the points marked with the red arrow when it is blocked you can not

In this image you can see how the code can not be accessed

Very strange...
What about the folding indicators (+, -) next to the line number?
What about changing the settings: editor.folding, editor.showFoldingControls ?

I also have this issue. I'm using 1.35.1. I like to use the keyboard shortcuts. Sometimes, after using them, I won't be able to unfold the code. It's a sporadic issue. Sometimes it resolves itself after a few minutes. Other times I have to restart VS Code.

Any solution for this?

I am also having this issue. This happens almost every single time I open a python file in the VSCode editor. The only solution (temporary) I have found is to restart VSCode (however after a few minutes of use, the arrows to unfold/fold the code disappear). I have enabled editor.folding and editor.showFoldingControls is set to always. I have also tried using the keyboard shortcuts but they don't work. When I try placing the cursor after the functions that are folded (and that I can't unfold), and deleting, it deletes code inside the function but does not unfold it (I can tell its deleting because the line numbers decrease).

Note: I am using VSCode to connect to a remote server (cluster)

Same issue, I'm on a remote VueJS project.

Although, I have a second instance of VScode with a python project on the same remote server, and the issue is not present

other information

I think it is a problem about extension.

After disable ext(vscode-go), folding revocerd.

Same issue here. I use code folding a lot in vim but in vscode it's virtually impossible to use. Not only folding controls disappear - hotkeys don't work either.
It happens in any language.
I use it in remote mode over ssh.

I have the same issue with python files in vscode. Disabling juypter extensions solves the issue however.

I hate to pile on this but I have been having this issue too. I work with Python/Jupyter and the code folding buttons are mysterious. Most of the time they are there and work fine but every now and then when I start VSCode they are missing. A combination of reloading window, restarting, and just time passing and they appear. A tiny kink but a nuisance nonetheless. It looks like something is loading in the background to make them appear but every now and then it fails silently and the buttons do not appear... I have a proof of this but the margin is too small to fit :-)

Just now I am on the third restart and they still do not appear. I am also working connected to a remote which might be slowing the mysterious code folding load.

very much an issue for me in js, i've tried re-installing vs code to no avail

It will work for the first few 20 (ish) seconds before it stops and all code folding functions don't work. If i fold a block of code before it happens i cannot unfold
