using the latest vs code, on a new installation, with only 1 plugin (which i know not to be causing the problem, since i have repeated the whole thing with another plugin; same issue) on a mac also using the latest catalina os.
issue:
writing a couple of pages (2 or 3) to the terminal, either from the terminal itself or from within the plugin, the terminal becomes unbearably slow, scrolling up or down freezes it entirely.
i found some previous links talking about this issue, but they are with older versions of vs code, and the responses have always been "this is now fixed in version xxx".
question:
is there some general setting in vs code that will prevent this?
or do you just have to wait for the next "updating", the next "breaking", the next "updating", etc?
