unwanted - key dev PC VSC 1.58.2 has flipped into Insiders mode

Issue Type: Bug

My key dev VSC 1.58.2 has flipped into Insiders mode, as the Jupyter notebook Markdown Theme is solid grey (not very workable) and suddenly has the new cell timers. But big problem is this is buggy - the Variables (in both Jupyter and normal .py) don’t show in window (Problems and Terminal etc aok), which is critical.

Oddly, my other laptop also has exact latest 1.58.2 and does maintain the Jupyter Markdown Theme without the timers, so is normal. So, why has my core dev machine switched to what looks like Insiders release? Am trying to recommend VSC but I need a stable IDE to get my work done.

From the screenshot above, it looks like you have your cursor inside the cell, which means the cell is in edit mode:

For Ctrl+K Ctrl+C to work, you’ll want to put the cell in command mode using the Escape key (no cursor and no blue border around the cell editor area):

Hopefully that works for you 🤞

The shortcut works when the cell is in command mode. (When editing a cell, press esc to put it into command mode.) I’m on Windows and it definitely works for me (and verified Cmd+K Cmd+C also works on Mac).

VS Code notebooks support multiselecting notebook cells, but unfortunately it looks like Collapse Cell Input doesn’t handle all of them. I don’t believe we support collapsing all cell inputs today, so I’ve gone ahead and opened https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/129488

Out of curiosity, is collapsing/expanding all code cells something that you frequently have to do? What is the use case for this gesture, and why would you want it surfaced in the top-level toolbar (versus, say, just in the command palette)? For context, we have received some user feedback that the new UI is visually cluttered. We’re concerned about creating additional clutter by contributing too many actions to the global toolbar, so it would help us understand the reasoning behind wanting gestures to be available in the toolbar versus somewhere else.
