Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): BUG REPORT

Environment:

• VSCode Version: 1.18.0
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.10.2
• OS: macOS 10.13.2 Beta (17C67b)

What happened:

When I upgrade to VSCode 1.18.0 the CPU ran into extreme high, I found it caused by two Code Helper.app processes. Then I just disabled all extensions, everything is OK. It is clear that this issues is caused by extensions conflicts with VSCode, so I re-enabled each extension to figure out which one caused this situation. Finally I found it is VSCodeVim, I just re-enabled every other extensions everything is OK, but after re-enable VSCodeVim, the CPU went high.

So I don’t know do you guys have the same issue?

What did you expect to happen:

Normal CPU usage.

How to reproduce it:

• Install VSCode 1.18.0
• Install VSCodeVim and enabled it

Have the same thing. Arrived at Vim extension by elimination of extensions. Profiled the extension and got this:

Which hints at my customising the status bar colors. Removed my config and everything is normal again!

@nzig that blog post says:

Currently only statusBarItem.errorBackground is supported to avoid the Status bar looking too colorful.

so it looks to me like that’d be of limited use…

FWIW I managed to find a solution to color the status bar item based on its text, using the Customize UI extension:

    "customizeUI.stylesheet": {
        "#vscodevim\\.vim\\.primary[aria-label=\"-- INSERT --\"]": "background-color: #98971a !important;",
        "#vscodevim\\.vim\\.primary[aria-label=\"-- VISUAL --\"]": "background-color: #b16286 !important;",
        "#vscodevim\\.vim\\.primary[aria-label^=\":\"]": "background-color: #7c6f64 !important;",
    },

result:
