Semantic Highlighting breaks when rapidly typing due to improper cancellation
Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
- I have read the troubleshooting guide.
- I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
- I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
- If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.
Summary
Like the title says, semantic highlighting doesn't work for any new text you type, it only works for the text that was already there when you opened a file. Interestingly the VS code token inspect feature correctly lists the semantic color but the visuals aren't updated. Initially I assumed this was a bug in VS code itself but if I try it with the C# extension it works perfectly fine in VS code so they must be doing something different from this extension.
Here's a clip that demonstrates the issue:
