Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A

  • VS Code Version: Current public build
  • OS Version: MacOS / Windows latest builds

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install VSCode
  2. Open up multiple tabs
  3. Loosely click on a tab just above the editor pane
  4. Witness the editor jarringly scroll while not selecting the correct tab due to this TINY scrollbar....
  5. Cognitively readjust since now all your tabs have just scrolled and you have no idea why you are still on the same tab as you were just editing
  6. Measure heart rate and blood pressure

Here is a yearly reminder since 2020, to add the ability to disable the editor tab scrollbar, as clearly some of us developers don't want it and yet the VSCode community keeps trying to ignore the feedback. Well, we are back from the grave once more. 💀

All personal feelings aside, simply put, this needs to be looked at again and not just shuffled away please.

A developer went the distance to add the ability to make it 'Large' yet no option to just plain hide it? Clearly it was accepted that 'yeah, users can't ever turn this off...'

As someone who used to UI test for VSCode, this is troubling. Just a convenience layer added with no ability to say "no, this is not for me, or I simply don't want to use it. It hinders or is creating friction in my workflow."

For reference, since I am not the only vscode user who feels this needs to be optional:
