Huge resources hog while extension is pulling listings, enabled in general

[Jasius]

I noticed that my VSC was acting up as of late and I couldn't put my finger on what could be the cause of that until I remembered that I started using TODO extension more frequently

and this is how VSC ran after I disabled extension on the workspace that I do things

Here's the config that I use

    "todohighlight.isEnable": true,
    "todohighlight.isCaseSensitive": true,
    "todohighlight.defaultStyle": {
        "isWholeLine": "true",
        "color": "#eee"
    },
    "todohighlight.keywords": [
        {
            "text": "REMOVE:",
            "backgroundColor": "#E74C3C",
            "overviewRulerColor": "#E74C3C"
        },
        {
            "text": "BUG:",
            "backgroundColor": "#f9d0c4",
            "overviewRulerColor": "#f9d0c4",
            "color": "#332a28"
        },
        {
            "text": "DEPRECIATED:",
            "backgroundColor": "#2C3E50",
            "overviewRulerColor": "#2C3E50"
        },
        {
            "text": "DISABLED:",
            "backgroundColor": "grey",
            "overviewRulerColor": "grey"
        },
        {
            "text": "REVIEW:",
            "backgroundColor": "#3498DB",
            "overviewRulerColor": "#3498DB"
        },
        {
            "text": "REFACTOR:",
            "backgroundColor": "#3498DB",
            "overviewRulerColor": "#3498DB"
        },
        {
            "text": "IN PROGRESS:",
            "backgroundColor": "#01A2A6",
            "overviewRulerColor": "#01A2A6"
        }
    ]

If you need any other information let me know, I really like this extension and would like to continue using it if this issue gets resolved.

Also in some cases even after turning off VSC one instances kept running in the task manager and draining resources, battery.

I wonder if the command List highlighted annotations causes this.
Try not using it and feedback if the situation still exists. Then I know where to start.

[Jasius]

@wayou Yeah that command completely obliterates VSC and its task keeps running even when you turn off VSC. Also I excluded every build, dist, modules folder and yet it still completely destroys my system.

[wayou]

You mean that event VS Code been quitted the issue still exists?
Does the List highlighted annotations command complete or stall?

I tried on Windows 7 with 3 VSC opened and commands running. Without luck to reproduce. A step by step guide is needed.

Does the List highlighted annotations command complete or stall?

It does complete properly.

Without luck to reproduce. A step by step guide is needed.

I'll record that whenever i'll get home.
