MySQL Shell for VS Code script editor behaves weirdly

[IgorArnaut]

I was writing a script on the editor, but the highlighting of some commands is very broken. Some lines also show red underlines under some characters, which makes some commands not work at all. It should be fixed.

Thanks for the report. Can you describe in detail how you got there? It's difficult to reproduce the problem without action details.

I just installed MySQL Shell for VS Code, created a new script and typed some commands.

Well, when I say "in detail" I mean a step-by-step list that lead to the issue. Doing what you wrote above happens probably thousand times a week and no problem comes up. So I assume there's something special you did to end up with the situation described in the first posting. We just need to find out what this is.

Here it is extremely slow, up to being unusable, and the auto text completion is not working in /sql which makes making writing a query hard as I have to look up the exact table and columns names over and over again.

Not using DB Notebook shell, that is directly opening tables with the right mouse menu SHOW DATA does work fast and auto completion nearly works as expected, I still miss auto completion in where clauses

I can attach a video on request here if you want.

Sticking to mysql workbench for a but longer but this extension would be good

@GeoTimber Not sure if your issue is related to this one here. Maybe better create your own one and attach that screencast? Would certainly help to encircle the problem.
