Rendering random characters

Random characters are sometimes rendered in place of true characters (the code is still correct when I run it, but doesn’t display correctly). If I highlight the wrongly displayed characters and then unhighlight, the error corrects itself. It’s really random when it happens and I don’t know how best to reproduce it. However, this has happened on two of my machines running Windows 10 and 11.

I can reproduce it . #1075 will fix that.

Hi, I am experiencing this issue as well with Version 1.73 of VSCode and neovim v0.8.0 My vscode-neovim plugin page states ‘last modified: 08/11/2022, 08:07:47’ (I could not figure out how to get the version number for the plugin)

1. When I disable all plugins (except vscode-neovim) and set the init.lua config path to NONE then I do not experience the issue.
2. When I enable all plugins (except vscode-neovim) and still have the config path to NONE I still do not experience this issue. (even with multiple linters installed, like Prettier, and markdownlint when editing markdown files)
3. When I introduce my config init.lua without any extensions; I begin to experience the issue (albeit less frequently than when I have vscode linting plugins and init.lua enabled).
4. after removing all autocmds and almost all keymaps (some of them with <c-...> do not like running inside vscode) the issue is pretty much gone.

So, I think it is most likely issues in the users init.lua. (Maybe this answer will help someone experiencing this issue as well.)

I also find that the vscode-neovim performs much worse in general when my config is loaded (even with most things removed) Narrowing down what options need to be excluded with if vim.g.vscode then ... is quite a process if you already had a beefy init.lua and I think I need to work through my config again with the setup guide in the README and try to use VSCodeCall/VSCodeNotify as recommended.

In case this is still considered a bug (doubt) Here is a file that I was testing with. It mostly happens when changing between modes and doing short inserts and quick movements around syntax elements like -, ##, 1. etc. and the issue is worse with larger files, and files with more syntax elements like code files.
