I wonder if this issue is being caused by an installed extension. Can you try to run VS Code without extensions? From the command line (NOT the integrated terminal in Code), execute: code --disable-extensions and try your steps again to see if it reproduces. If you see it is an issue with the extension, please file it against the extension repository itself.

I did launch VSCode from the command line: code --disable-extensions

Still seeing the high CPU usage

• this doesn't seem to be an extension problem.
