Bug Description

When the Explorer panel is open, scrolling in the editor becomes laggy and stutters. Other panels (like Extensions) don't cause this issue.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable Smooth-Mode in extension settings
  2. Open Explorer panel
  3. Scroll in the editor - notice lag and stuttering
  4. Switch to Extensions panel - scrolling works fine

Expected vs Actual Behavior

  • Expected: Smooth scrolling in editor regardless of which panel is open
  • Actual:
    • Extensions panel: Maybe slight lag (could be placebo) but usable
    • Explorer panel: Severe lag making editor scrolling basically unusable

Environment

  • VSCode: 1.104.1
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro

Notes

The lag happens even with VSCode's native smooth scrolling disabled, indicating it's the extension's Smooth-Mode causing the issue.
