One of my primary motivations for using AsciiDoc is the great flexibility it allows with respect to tables. However, the VSCode preview has multiple issues when it comes to syncing between source code and preview.
The following screencast illustrates the issues in four stages:
We try scrolling the source with the scroll wheel. The preview doesn't track at all.
We try scrolling the source by holding the cursor down on the scrollbar. Again, the preview doesn't track at all.
We try scrolling the preview with the scroll wheel. It keeps snapping back to the top of the table. This one is particularly frustrating.
We try scrolling the preview with the cursor on the scrollbar. The source position lags behind the preview. Note also: the snapping behavior is still present, but mitigated by VSCode's default snap-to-cursor-scrollbar-position behavior.
Here is the source code I used to produce the screencast (apparently GitHub doesn't allow uploading .adoc files, so I changed the extension):
PreviewTableScrollExample.txt
Extension Version (also seen at start of screencast):
v3.2.3
Searching the logs for any occurrences of "asciidoctor-vscode", I found the following three messages. However, they do not occur in the time span when the above screencast was captured, which was 14:24.
