Description

[Bug] Revert Button Does Nothing — Only Works After Closing and Reopening VSCode

Clicking the Revert button has no effect — nothing happens. The only way to get Revert to work is to close VSCode entirely, reopen it, and click Revert again, at which point it finally executes.


Expected Behavior

  • Clicking Revert should immediately execute and restore the selected checkpoint
  • No restart of VSCode should ever be required for Revert to function correctly

Actual Behavior

  • Clicking Revert produces no visible result
  • The action silently fails with no error message shown ❌
  • Revert only works after fully closing and reopening VSCode, then clicking it again ❌

Impact

  • High — Revert is unusable in its normal flow, forcing users to restart the entire editor just to undo changes — a disruptive and unreliable workaround for a core safety feature
