@djmisterjon can you check your setting workbench.useExperimentalGridLayout

[jonlepage]

it activated but what this should do ?

@djmisterjon It seems that setting does not make a difference for me anyway. I see the collapsed editor group is not expanded when focused this way. Additionally, I see that there is some extra whitespace at the bottom of the image, is that happening in your window?

yes it focus on the correct line with highlight, but i want auto expanded the window.
And yes you true, it work in debug Mode with breakpoint, when travel in breakpoint it auto open and expanded window needed.
But in this ways, it not work, maybe a dev forget add the feature ?
The extra white space it the microsoft snapScreen editor, no related to vscode or window environment.

I think the issue is as follows:

• there is an editor group minimized that is not active
• clicking on the reference will prefer to reveal the editor from the group instead of opening it in the current group
• we preserve focus in the reference view because the interaction is by mouse and as such we do not activate the minimized group
• as such the group does not maximize

I pushed a change so that a minimized editor group will maximize even if not getting activated.
