Minimap is present, but doesn't render any content.
This is on my 2006 Mac Pro, running El Capitan (my hardware won't support any further upgrades).
I have VSCode running with the exact same settings on my MacBook Pro, which is running the latest OSX, and the minimap is working fine there.
The minimap on my Mac Pro displays on the right side, with the correct width and semi-transparent background, it even scrolls properly as I scroll through my code. It just doesn't display any content whatsoever.
I've tried Toggle Minimap - that works properly, shows and hides as you'd expect, except still no content when it's turned on.
I've tried different fonts, changing minimap column width, Render Characters Off (to use color blocks instead), and changed sides (right and left), I've tried running VSCode with all extensions disabled. Obviously tried restarting VSCode, and even rebooting.
Nothing I've done has made the minimap render any content, which makes me wonder if either my hardware is too old & not supported for this, or I have a broken/missing library.
It's fine if I can't get it working, but it would be nice. Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

I tried to change some settings in VSCode. As a start, the vertical scrollbar active area is only a pixel or two wide. It typically takes me 3-4 tries before I successfully grab/drag it. No problems, I'll change the Vertical Scrollbar Size. I did -- and nothing changed. I exited and restarted, nothing changed. I tried changing another setting (Scrollbar: Scroll By Page) and nothing changed.
#modified shows all the settings I've changed. They just don't work. (Edit: I kept experimenting, and I found some settings DO work, e.g. Cursor Style and Auto Closing Quote.)
What's the secret to get the changes to work ??
Version 1.74.2, 1 day ago. Running on Windows 10 Pro.
====================
So, the settings work in the normal editor but not in the Jupyter editor, which is where I actually work 95% of the time. I can't find a scrollbar-width setting for the Notebook class. Does anyone know if the scrollbars can be adjusted in Jupyter notebooks?
Where did my VSCode indent guides go?
As best as I can recall, indent guides were working as advertised in VSCode 1.17.2 on my MacBook Pro (macOS Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29)) a few hours ago. Now, with no change to any settings and without closing/reopening the editor, I notice that they're no longer rendering. I checked multiple file formats and none of them work.
I checked editor.renderIndentGuides. It's defaulted to true, and isn't being forced to false anywhere, confirmed by noting that vscode.workspace.getConfiguration("editor")["renderIndentGuides"] evaluates to true).
One minor oddity I noticed was that the settings editor itself was correctly showing indent guides until I restarted VSCode and now it's broken too.
After noticing the problem, I briefly installed the Guides extension to see if it would make things any better. It worked, but I found its appearance slightly too in-your-face and didn't need any of the special bits (in which case the Guides README recommends not to use it) so I removed it, after which guides are again not rendering. If nothing else works, I'll reinstall Guides and see if I can tweak it to suit, but I'd rather just have VSCode work as intended.
I narrowed the problem down slightly to the MBP's built-in retina display. When I run on a non-retina external screen, I see the guides. However, even there, I noticed that playing with indentation level settings causes the guides to break up a little and I have to close and reopen the file to restore order.
I figured out the proximate cause. Setting the font too small (< 12pt) produces aliasing on thin (presumably 1-pixel) lines.
A non-retina external screen exhibits similar behaviour, though it requires smaller fonts. Also, while both screens have trouble with rulers, only the retina screen loses the guides.
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.

This isn't something that is holding me up, but its annoying.
In Netbeans (I was using 8.1, updated to 8.2--the problem exists in both), the bottom bar text appears in a bold font that does not render very nice at all. On my laptop monitor (Macbook Pro, retina) the font is still bold, but at least not so jagged looking. On either of my two external monitors (both 1920x1080) the text looks terrible. When I hover over the next, previous or select buttons the bold text goes away and they look fine.
This happens with font smoothing enabled or disabled. Any ideas?

I never did figure this out. Changing the IDE look and feel to Nimbus fixes it--sort of. I have to use the Nimbus Look and Feel, but its actually pretty nice looking.
This morning I accepted an Aptana Studio 3 upgrade to build 3.1.1.201204131931.
Prior to the update, I had a clear and permanently visible vertical scroll slider on each open file window. These now appear to have been replaced with a newer Mac OS style scroller which is troublesome to activate, disappears immediately the mouse moves away and so murky it was hours before I even noticed it was there...
The mew behaviour has a profound effect on my efficiency, as I am now far from intuitively aware of my location in the source files.
Is there some way of restoring the original behavior? Defaults restoral throughout and many hours of search of various preferences settings, online forums and user guides have brought nothing. Very frustrating..
Thanks
I think by default Lion only shows scrollbars when scrolling.
You can change this through OS X preferences under "General". Change the "Show scroll bars:" option to "Always".
