Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known bug and it’s already been escalated to the engineering team.
Workaround: In your settings.json, change "workbench.editor.showTabs": "single" to ”multiple" or ”none", or remove that line.
This should stop the freezing right away. Full details and discussion:
