Sluggish when scrolling. Freeze time increases with scroll time

Type: Performance Issue

This issue appears aftering coding for hours on tens of files. Scrolling becomes laggy, and the editor freezes when scrolling for seconds.

I use touchpad on my laptop to scroll browse the code, if I scroll slowly, the freeze time increases rapidly and becomes noticeable after about 2 seconds, freezing the editor for seconds each time.

VS Code version: Code 1.90.2 (5437499feb04f7a586f677b155b039bc2b3669eb, 2024-06-18T22:54:35.075Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 24.0.0 Modes:
