Live-share: VS Code extension causes Output window to receive focus upon opening VS Code

Created on 14 Jun 2018  路  3Comments  路  Source: MicrosoftDocs/live-share

Product and Version [VS/VSCode]: VSCode 1.23.1
OS Version [macOS/Windows]: Windows 10
Live Share Extension Version: 0.3.292
Target Platform or Language [e.g. Node.js]: Any

Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:

  1. Open a Terminal tab (this is not unique to the Terminal tab, however, just an example) and give it focus.
  2. Close and re-open VS Code.
  3. At first, the Terminal tab will have focus, but after a moment it will switch to the Output tab.

This reported issue in the VS Code repository points to it being caused by an extension. I systematically disabled my newest extensions to determine the culprit and found it was this one.

Expected behavior
Tab focus is not altered by the extension.

FYI, as a temporary workaround, you can set the liveshare.diagnosticLogging setting to false, which should prevent this behavior from happening. We're preparing an actual fix for this, however, I wanted to make sure folks knew about this workaround in the meantime.

Sorry for the annoyance. If you update the Live Share extension this should now be resolved.

Fix confirmed here! Thank you for the quick work, @daytonellwanger !
