Also having this issue
Running into this too using v2.1.0 of the extension.

EDIT: Root cause is #119
"editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": false
guys i solved this problem by adding this line to settings.json file. It is a problem about version 1.43.0 of VSCode.
Similar to #119, I'm working on a fix.
Ok, it looks like this was not intended to be the default, so the next update (probably a 1.43.1) will disable this behavior and give us enough time to update our themes when we feel we are ready for the new tokenizations.
I see the code is in place already to disable this behavior as default, so we should just wait for an update and everything should come back to normal until I have the time to update with the enhancements. I can confirm this is the behavior in the insiders already.
In the meantime, as people already said, you should set this in your settings:
"editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": false
