Problem appears on ARM64 native installation, WSL and remote SSH. All different installations.

Thanks for the report. I'm currently heads down working on URDF preview which broke due to an external change, then will look at this.

Working on this now. I suspect I missed the activation event in package.json

@magladko Thanks for checking in on this. There is a fix in the "pre-release" branch, which you can select from the extension page in VSCode. I'm planning on releasing a new pre-release with many new fixes next week (Week of July 10th), with a push to production shortly afterward.
