explorer.openEditors.visible setting

[paul-jarrow]

Type: Bug

It appears that the setting for explorer.openEditors.visible has a tooltip suggesting that the value must be greater than or equal to 1.

Setting this value to 0 disables the open editors part of the panel. However, it appears that the Open Editors panel has re-appeared, and this new tooltip is showing up!

Please let me know how to resolve this: to turn off the unused Open Editors part of VSCode, and/or how to set this value to 0 without it being an error.

I think the zero setting was removed recently in favour of using the standard mechanism for hiding a view via its context menu.

That is correct
