Constantly looping and checking for errors when "Problems" pane is open

Hello!

Perhaps the title is not spot on, but I couldn’t find better words at the moment. Feel free to adjust the title. What is going on: When the “Problems” pane is focused and VS Code is focused, it is “looping” through problems periodically like it is trying to compile, recompile, recompile… It is hard to describe, so I recorded a video for you. This is happening on Mac OS Sierra and High Sierra.

C# Extension version: 1.15.2

Steps to reproduce

I’m using different solutions and it is evident in all of them.

1. Open a folder with solution or with projects (I’m using Orleans-Docker in the video)
2. Focus the “Problems” pane (pressing Command+Shift+M)
3. Observe the periodic updates of error messages (re-evaluation with different results)

Expected behavior

1. Errors are “re-evaluated” only on changes

Actual behavior

1. Errors are “re-evaluated” constantly
2. See the video:

I believe this might be a VS code bug: See the issue here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/56317
