Whenever I resize any panel (terminal, agent chat, repository sidebar, etc.) by dragging the border, an overlay/tooltip appears in the center of the screen showing the dimensions in pixels (e.g. “128 x 16”). I couldn’t find any option in Settings or any command in the Command Palette (I tried searching “size”) to turn this indicator off.
Does anyone know if there’s a setting to hide it, or if this is just fixed behavior in the editor? I’d prefer not to have this overlay covering the screen every time I adjust a panel’s size.
Attaching a screenshot of the overlay in question.
Hey, thanks for the question. Those aren’t pixels. The overlay shows the terminal size in columns × rows. In your screenshot, 141 x 5 means 141 columns by 5 rows. It’s the terminal resize dimensions overlay from upstream VS Code.
Why it shows up when you resize non-terminal panels like the sidebar or agent chat: when you drag a neighboring panel, the space available to the terminal changes. The terminal reflows, recalculates cols and rows, and the overlay appears in the middle for a couple hundred milliseconds.
