Observe the initial state while the animated VS Code ribbon and thinking label are the only content in the response. 4. Wait for any additional response content to render. Actual While the animated ribbon/thinking row is the only content, the response container appears to have more padding above the row than below it. Once another content part is added, the”

Open the Copilot/Agents panel in the VS Code sidebar. 2. Observe the profile button's focus/hover state and surrounding padding.

“The inline terminal output preview in chat wraps content at a fixed column count (80 for restored sessions, or whatever the backing panel terminal happens to be for live ones) instead of the actual width of the output box. On a wide chat panel long lines wrap way too early and there is a dead gap before the chevron. Resizing the panel doesn't re wrap the content either. The detached xterm mirror gets its cols once at creation in chatTerminalCommandMirror.ts and we never resize it after that. Way”

“Bug In the chat view, when a fenced code block immediately follows or is nested in a list, the vertical spacing is asymmetric — there is no padding above the code block, but normal padding below it. Repro markdown: <pre list item another list item list </pre Cause Chat code blocks ( .rendered markdown [data code] ) only carry a bottom margin ( margin: 0 0 16px 0 ) and rely on the previous element's bottom margin for the space above them.

“Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes If a line is too long, VSCode/Monaco users can choose to wrap a line using the editor.wordWrap option. Enabling this option enables line wrapping, meaning that even if the content is actually on one line, it is displayed over multiple lines. Word wrapping is a concept that applies to any kind of text, not just editable content, nor even code. In many cases, text is also selectable. This is definitely true for text editors. This text se”

“Hello VSCode friends, The 'Open Editors' panel seems to have some extra unneeded padding on the left hand side: CleanShot 2024 10 08 at 13 42 25@2x It looks like some part of this is to provide a 'close' x button or an "unsaved changes" dot indicator, and some of the padding serves no purpose that I can see. I have a pretty small laptop screen, so this extra space could be put to better use rendering longer file names. Would it make sense to remove the extra padding, and change the x button to o”
