What's Wrong?

Issue in VS Code that appeared immediately after Claude Code extension upgrade to latest version 2.0.3.
using npm global package @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.1

Copy-paste of simple text lines have a huge LAG.
Small circle hourglass that rotates do appear when I paste, takes 1-2 seconds to actually paste one single text line.
If I disable Claude Code extension all returns to normal, copy-paste works instantly.

Copy-paste is done only in code files in a very slow manner, not to/from Claude Code terminal.
Actually you don't even have to open any Claude Code session.

What Should Happen?

VS Code copy-paste works instantly on text
