Code change:
Update: reproduces in web + desktop Steps to Reproduce: a Codespace until it is loaded various activity bar items that open menus (gear menu, accounts, main menu, home indicator) = somehow the accounts menu only opens for me after a delay, as if something was resolved when clicking? !
This still reproduces
does this still repro? maybe its imperceptible to me?
Yeah still seems slightly delayed to me, can we not check the code and see if a longer running promise prevents the menu from showing?
looks like we fetch session info every time, so this probably adds some delay. maybe this can be cached and updated separately
Yeah that seems like a reasonable ask since it goes to the extension host and back, today.
This issue has existed since 2 years! But only recently have I encountered this.
