Hey! I'm not being able to edit my code in the editor space ....the cursor just passes over the text with translucensy and works in certain cases where I press the ctrl key with it..note that I also recently installed a lot of new extentions sometime ago!

VS Code version: Code 1.48.0 (db40434f562994116e5b21c24015a2e40b2504e6, 2020-08-13T07:40:55.768Z) OS version: Linux x64 5.4.0-42-generic

(Experimental duplicate detection) Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• terminal is not working (#102761)

[ghost]

not working....looks like my editor has gone into some sort of read only mode, but not terminal!

[gjsjohnmurray]

First suggestion is to test with all extensions disabled. There is a Command Palette item to reload in that state, or a CLI argument.

thanks..its worked!!!!
