Vscode-gitlens: Distracting editor behavior - Unsaved changes (cannot determine authors)

[ChuckIrvine]

When ever I type into a vscode editor window, a message briefly appears at the top of the editor saying:

Unsaved changes (cannot determine authors)

This output causes the editor content to shift up and down and is distracting. How can I disable this behavior?

Thanks.

I see the same warning everytime I edit a file, it goes away after saving which is specially distracting when autosaving is enabled, as the text moves down and then back up while editing.

My interim fix was to set recentChangeAndAuthors to blank, try adding this your setting.json file:

"gitlens.strings.codeLens.unsavedChanges.recentChangeAndAuthors": ""

One fix is to disable the Gitlens>Code Lens>Authors

I had to disable all of Code Lens. Just unchecking Authors didn't work for me.

@haughki This too was distracting for me and I found that disabling both Authors and Recent Change got rid of it.

Not sure if related or a new issue but I found this line "shaking while typing" pretty annoying:

As suggested by joe-scotto I disabled that feature entirely :)

This is "fixed" in GitLens 11 -- as the code lens is replaced with an ellipsis (by default) when it can't currently be displayed.

@Pitasi that looks like a bug in VS Code -- can you report that on the VS Code repo?
