Changing settings can fail silently
See original GitHub issueFrom https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/50249#issuecomment-414102996
- Set
editor.parameterHints
which has been replaced - In the settings UI, set
"editor.parameterHints.enabled"
- The change is made in the JSON but doesn’t apply because of
editor.parameterHints
. - Errors are written in the devtools console but there’s no other way to know about the conflict.
@sandy081 Should these also show a notification error to the user?

Yeah makes sense to notify user and allow them to clean up
@roblourens I am not aware of any. Its the responsibility of the owner of the setting to make sure it is backward compatible.
