Cutting/Deleting folded code affects only one line

[PrzemyslawKlys]

Having something like this:

Folding it...

Now when you delete that line or CTRL+X it my expectation would be that it would affect whole folded section and not just highlighted line. Or am I wrong? I believe this is how it works in Visual Studio 2015+ although I've not checked recently.

My first thought is that this is probably something VSCode itself controls, rather than us. Maybe open an issue in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode and see what they say?

I'll close here, since I don't think we can change this behaviour from the extension. But if it turns out we can, we can reopen.

Hmm, I don't think so. I've deleted entire collapsed regions in TS and that is supposed to work. I think the bug is in the PS extension. @glennsarti ?

[PrzemyslawKlys]

There is same behaviour for markdown and json in 1.28 so @rjmholt may be right on this.

This might be a difference based on a new setting that doesn't show the ending }. What I do is TS is collapse a section of code and the following closing } and press delete. That deletes the entire section. I have to say that I really, really DISLIKE the current code-folding default that collapses the entire folding region to a single line - for this very reason. And I'm not seeing a setting to revert back to the old behavior well without completely reverting back to indentation-based folding. :-(

If you select it this way

It will work properly. So it seems you have explicitly select 2nd line start for it to copy whole section.

OK, I see the same behavior with the C# extension where it collapses to a single line so yeah, I guess it's a VSCode issue after all.

Will that be fixed by #1557 ?

@rkeithhill ^^

Well, yes and no. :-) I wouldn't really mind the "collapse to single line" behavior if cut/copy/delete worked as expected. But it seems that may be a VSCode bug that we can't control. :-( Either that or the C# extension has the same folding bug. But that's a bit hard to believe.
