Description

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Place cursor in markdown cell, somewhere in the NOT visible area of the screen
  2. Click out of the cell
  3. Try to double click somewhere in the visible area of the screen to highlight text

🐛Cell scrolls to the previously placed cursor area (which is great if I'm single-clicking into the cell, but in this case, it feels glitchy to me)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the cell focus handler in VS Code's notebook editor to understand why it scrolls to the previous cursor location when double clicking after losing focus.
