Description

Remote-SSH connections hang after saving a file. Reconnections fail and the VSCOde needs reloading.

To reproduce

1. Upgrade to the lastest VSCode
2. Load a large code base from a Remote-SSH based project
3. Save a file, wait a bit save another file
4. Save now fails to complete, the SSH connection is being reattempted and never succeeds

I meet the same issue with VSCode 1.92.1

Can you please confirm this is still happening with current Pre-Release 0.9.196 (or the next stable version >= 0.8.46 if it got released in the meantime)?

[no1wudi]

@fry69 Thanks! It seems OK with 0.9.196

@fry69 Unfortunately, after a considerable period of usage, I’ve discovered that the editor still encounters freezing issues, which appear to be connected to automatic indexing. I attempted to disable the code indexing, and as a result, the freezing ceased.

BTW, I am working with a large project that consists of tens of gigabytes of files.

When the system is stuck, Task Manager shows that a VSCode process is using 100% of the CPU. I suspect that this process might be related to the 'Continue' functionality.

Indexing is under heavy development, hopefully this problem will get at least bearable in the near future when using a remote ssh setup. Otherwise, remote ssh, huge repository sizes and indexing naturally collide, esp. when also remote embeddingsProvider/reranker are configured. Disabling indexing this case might be a sensible solution.
