Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes - I test on fresh and clean portable installation

It looks like limitation related to plaintext in file association and Language Detection feature. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/133506#issuecomment-931588566 and previous comments.

You can disable language detection with "workbench.editor.languageDetection": false but I don't think there are other workarounds ATM.

Setting something like

"files.associations": {
    "*.php": "plaintext",
    "*.js": "plaintext"
}

works as expected
