Use cursor to launch a extension host and debug extension code is extreamly slow when doing step operations. when the stepping is stucked , still not fixed at version 2.4.7.
Hey, thanks for the report. I see the issue didn’t go away after updating the VSCode base to 1.105.1. It’s a bummer the promised fix didn’t work.
The team knows about some general Extension Host issues, but we need a bit more info to tell if this is the same problem or a separate debugging case.
Could you share:
Which extension are you debugging, or does this happen with any extension project?
CTRL + Shift + P → Developer: Open Process Explorer
Please send a screenshot from when stepping starts lagging.
Settings → Application → Experimental → enable Extension Monitor Enabled, then CTRL + Shift + P → Developer: Open Extension Monitor
What does it show during debugging?
For now, you can try this workaround:
Close as many other extensions as possible before starting the Extension Host
Go to Settings → Application → Experimental, search for anything related to the Extension Host, and try toggling it
Let me know what the logs show. It’ll help us confirm if this is specific to the debugging workflow or a general Extension Host issue.
