VSCode becomes laggy after using it for some time (macOS Sonoma) #229726

Closed as not planned

Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.80.2
  • OS Version: Sonoma 14.5

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch VSCode on a Mac running macOS Sonoma.
  2. Work with multiple files, extensions, or projects for an extended period (2+ hours).
  3. Gradually, the editor becomes laggy, with slow response times when typing or navigating.
  4. The issue does not resolve by closing open tabs, only by restarting the application.

Expected Behavior:
VSCode should maintain consistent performance without becoming laggy, even during prolonged usage.

Actual Behavior:
The editor's responsiveness deteriorates over time, leading to noticeable delays in interactions.
