Vscode: Add option to disable rendering of problems in scrollbar

[josh-tepper]

Issue Type: Feature Request

The "problems" generated by the language extension are rendered as green/orange/red rectangles in the scrollbar on relevan files. I'd like the option to disable this. In my case, I'm editing code that already has many "problems" and they polute the scrollbar and make it hard to see the other contributions in the scrollbar, e.g., the file diff. This is the case even though they are in different "columns" of the scrollbar.

VS Code version: Code 1.21.1 (79b44aa704ce542d8ca4a3cc44cfca566e7720f1, 2018-03-14T14:39:09.335Z)
OS version: Darwin x64 17.4.0

"editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize": 30,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorOverviewRuler.errorForeground": "#0000",
    "editorOverviewRuler.warningForeground": "#0000",
    "editorOverviewRuler.infoForeground": "#fff0",
}

Oh, clever. Still there should probably be a setting for this

Rendering of problems / errors should be optional, especially since most (all?) spellcheck extensions produce large amounts of nonsensical warnings when editing complex files (say Latex documents).

The solution is the one proposed by @usernamehw -- https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/46201#issuecomment-374720926

"editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize": 30,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorOverviewRuler.errorForeground": "#0000",
    "editorOverviewRuler.warningForeground": "#0000",
}

None of these work for me, I still have spelling mistakes decorations in the ruler as "infos" type problems:

Cannot there simply be an option to disable them?

edit: it's ok the decorations seem to have gone after a restart of VSCode. I still think as other people that there should be an option for this.
