Steps to Reproduce:
- Install any VSCode extension. (Example: Markdown PDF)
- Go to the installed extension's marketplace url: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yzane.markdown-pdf
- Click on "Install" button
Expected:
VSCode opens "Extension" tab and loads the extension page.
Actual:
VSCode app gains focus, but nothing else happens (no tabs open).
This is confusing, especially if you have many extensions and are unsure whether you already have an extension installed.
Also there's another poor UI: If I don't have extension installed, and I install it, but not by clicking on the "Instal"/"Cancel" new top bar "notification", but from the button inside the newly open "Extension" tab, the top bar notification doesn't get updated/dismissed. The state of extension (installed/not installed) is not propagated/synced globally)
Reproduces without extensions: Yes
