I noticed today that there is a weird symbol being drawn next to the terminal in VSCode. It looks like it's purpose is to indicate where the next input starts. How do I turn this off? It is driving me nuts. I went threw all the options in the terminal page but I don't see anything.....
Image showing the weird circle:
Saw these same dots this morning, found them pretty annoying.
These are the settings related to the dots
I got rid of them by setting Integrated > Shell Integration: Decorations Enabled to never. This is in User settings under Features > Terminal.

My VSC shows the wavy underlines when something's wrong with my code, but does not display the hint overlay when I hover my mouse on it.
This happens whatever the language used (from CSS to Typescript) and whatever the type of irregularity (e.g. notice, warn, danger)
I'd say that's a setting I may have changed at some point, but can't find which one. Any idea?
More details:
I do have the message displayed in the Problems tab besides to the Terminal, but it forces me to switch from tab to tab ;
I do have other overlays like autocomplete/autosuggest ;
No extensions in my setup could have led to that situation (only a few installed, widely downloaded, nothing fancy or dodgy).
Actual behavior (nothing happens):
Expected behavior (from google images)
Go to File > Preferences > Settings.
Search for 'hover.enabled' (See below photo).
Toggle it.
If your editor still does not pick up the change, close all tabs, close all VSCode windows, and reopen it.
If it's still not working, try uninstalling VSCode and reinstalling it (make sure you don't have setting sync on).
Also, this question has been answered in at least one other place (Disable tooltip hint in Visual Studio Code)
VS Code Version: 1.47.3 running on OSX Catalina 10.15.3
I've been debugging the current extension project for the past few days without any issues.
Then suddenly, insanity enters my life.
The debugger is still running. Breakpoints have all turned to hollow circles and say they are unbound. The code still stop on these breakpoints, but the line is no longer highlighted, just has a greyish outline, and the variables now show their definition, not their values.
I feel like I have hit a keyboard shortcut and switched to some obscure, unhelpful debug mode, but I cannot find a setting or shortcut that describes doing such a thing.
What did I do, how do I get back to normal debugging? Can anyone help?
Here's screenshot, the debugger is running, the grey outline box is usually filled yellow, or green, the breakpoint is usually a filled circle, and mouse over usually shows the value on the variable, not any more :-(
Tried changing many settings, nothing worked.
Then deleted the node_module folder and ran npm install, et voila!
What changed in there I have no idea. Nothing was installed or removed for some time, but there you are, the mysteries of VS Code debugging.
I've encountered a very strange bug with Microsoft Visual Studio Code. I've been using VSCode for a few months now and never had this issue. When I open VSCode, the window just doesn't appear. The app is definitely open, because when I hover over the icon on my taskbar I can see what is being displayed in the app:
Unfortunately, when I click on it, the window does not appear.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted cache, tried older versions and nothing has worked. Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? Any advice?
hover over VSCode icon in taskbar
right click on it
click on "New Window"
That should do it.
I had something similar. It appears that the window is just off-screen. I've used my DisplayFusion display manager - to move windows to center/top where I could handle it myself. I expect it'll also work using <Win> + <←> (maximize window to left side of screen).
In my case, the issue went away when uninstalling the GlassIt-VSC extension. I tried modifying the opacity of the window and then it disappeared. I highly suggest you try uninstalling this extension.
In my case I had connected HDMI cable but due to power off my monitor was off, but when I disconnected hdmi cable; VS code visible on my screen.
Got the answer since no one was helping.
Go to view.
Click solution explorer.
It should show the name of your project.
Click the small arrow at the beginning of the heading of your project.
Click source files.
Click yourproject.cpp.
Thank you.
I encountered a similar issue with a plugin called GlassIt while I was playing with a property called "glassit.alpha" somehow it went to 1 (possibly I changed it accidentally) and nothing showed up. (here's an image where you can slightly see that I set alpha to 20)
what i did was to just edit the %appdata%\..\Roaming\Code\User\Settings.json and set "glassit.alpha": 1, to 255
UPDATE I just realised there was already an answer I didn't see while I was writing this post
I had this issue during a remote desktop session and could bring the VSC window back via hitting F11 (via the onscreen keyboard in my case, since the F11 key on my keyboard was being captured by the host system).
In my case, I have a dual monitor setup, and the laptop was in clamshell mode. However, the laptop's built-in monitor was recognized as a third monitor, and VsCode was going there.
Recently VSCode is showing an animated line, that moves constantly from the left to the right. The movement is distracting when I am trying to code.
What is the line, and how can I disable it?
This is because it's "loading" something in the background.
Display the Ouptut console shiftcmd/ctrlu (or: View > Output) and on the right, in a selectable list, check the different tasks or logs to see what process is still pending.
Sometimes it's a plugin which is stuck, or a wrong configuration of your project.
It could also simply be a bug in VSCode.
It is very annoying to see that background around code is lighter then the rest of the program. When the cursor moves the highlighting moves up and down to full window width. Can you please propose solution how to turn this highlighting off. Same problem is in output of task log, and in file explorer.
I have deleted all the settings and Application data and I have same problem. I have installed vscode on windows and I do not have this problem with same settings.
Unfortunately this is an issue in Chromium. You can work around this by starting VS Code with --disable-gpu from the command line.

It appears this can be fixed for some users by selecting a different color profile in macOS display settings. Note that you have to change this separately for all monitors that you use.
For me, "Apple RGB" will show these blocks, and switching to "LED Cinema Display" or "iMac" solves the issue.
