What is the problem?

Description of tab Feature Contribution in Visual Studio Code extension page seems broken.

How can I reproduce it?

Open extension in Visual Studio Code.

Thanks for the feedback. It is because we use these %placeholder%s to do localization (dates back to #240). I am not sure whether there is a better way now. But it doesn't seem to be a big problem (as you can see the description in the Settings UI).

Thank you for the advice with the description in the Settings UI @yzhang-gh. I did not think about this when I was creating this issue. Should I close this issue then since there is an workaround or should I leave it open?

Let's just leave it open.

Interestingly it works when I build the extension from source and install it with Install from VSIX. It also works with the latest build from GitHub which I have installed the same way.

But if I install the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace I still have the issue that I don't see the description of the extension settings (see screenshots below).

Both screenshots were taken on my linux machine. I've included the version information below.

😮 That's weird. They are still %...% on my PC (even if installed from the GitHub build).

Oh I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that the second screenshot was taken on my linux machine. I've updated my comment above by adding information about the my vscode version and my os.

Thanks for the information 👍. I would say let it go. We haven't seen many people complaining about it yet 😅.
