[BUG] Ctrl+E to show previous messages not working in VSCode

What's Wrong?
In VSCode terminal; part way through a conversation, clicking CTRL+O expands the history, then it states CTRL+E to show XXX previous messages.
Clicking CTRL+E opens the VSCode 'Search files by name' search bar at the top, despite CTRL+O working to part expand the conversation history.
What Should Happen?
The XXX previous messages should expand and display.

Steps to Reproduce
VSCode v1.104.1
Windows WSL 2
Ubuntu 22.04
Using Claude Code 2.0.2 inside of the VSCode terminal
Open or Create a long conversation and attempt to view previous chats that are now hidden
CTRL+O triggers the first expand ... then CTRL+E is meant to reveal the rest; but instead the shortcut triggers a default VSCode shortcut.
