hey @frwrdnet - sorry to hear you're running into trouble with some focus issues. Do you happen to have any repro steps? We can add some fixes if there are specific repro steps. In the meantime, you should be able to keep using claude from the terminal without re-installing the older version (simply open up the built-in terminal, and run claude). @hackyon-anthropic I am having the same issue, we must downgrade... As soon as it's installed, (any version above 1.0.127) and that vscode is running, you just have to open a big file use the mouse and select text until it scroll and that your pc glitch out because rg is spamming) !Image btw here i have nothing else open then a file (saved where claude could open), but the extention is not even running.... and i have procmon with filter on "rg.exe" to show how bad it is.... and i selected a couple paragraph only.. when i select 1500 lines, let me tell you everything start to glitch out ! it feels like a rg.exe is spawn for each char selected in vscode workspace where claude code would open when you click on the extension icon to open it --- That said the simple fact to have any version that are 1.0.128 or above make rg spam like hell even with claude code extension not open. The only "true" fix that got it fixed for me (and i think i have decent specs on my Windows 10 PC.) is when i downgraded to 1.0.127

it is the vscode extension and ripgrep
