Not sure if VS Code has always been this stupid or it's a regression or if I am holding it wrong.

So my setup is Windows PC, connected to a local Linux box and the generally awesome Remote-SSH plugin. I do have to type in my SSH key's password every time I connect.

So when I put the windows pc to sleep, of course the connection breaks. (Let's ignore any sleep I might trigger that's less than the SSH timeout)

Up until a while ago it just popped up the password dialog, I entered my password and could continue, but recently there's always been a popup saying I need to "Reload the window" and then need to type the password again.

Bonus nitpick: if I am already connected and switch folders, it wants to reconnect, although I can choose the folder already, so it can't be somehow scoped to the current directory. This also happens on initial connection, so I go F1 -> Remote SSH to HOST, it connects, password dialog, then I need to choose the dir (which works) but then it needs to reconnect to load it. Meh.

I'm so angry I wrote some C code.

Apparently it's maintenance week. Spurred on by some thing at work I've already:

• dug out and updated a 1y old branch to bump deps in one project, also redid the Dockerfile
• cleaned up and merged another branch in another project, also dep bump and rewrote deployment
• in progress of updating an 8y old companion tool for the first project (never really used)

Oh and I guess I should grab dependabot and/or renovate for private projects.

Holy cow, how convoluted can you make a "report a bug" procedure, Github?

No, we don't have bugs, everything must be a user error, so please post in the feedback forum, or choose from one of these 7 categories and none of them say "Our fucking website has a bug".

Apparently you have to google it, not find it in their footer.  https://support.github.com/contact/bug-report
