What's Wrong?
I have a VScode workspace with multiple projects with Claude Code.
If I open a file in project 2 then click the Claude icon, It always opens the context in the first project. The only way I can get a context in the second project is to reorder the projects in the workspace. I asked CC how to open it in the second project and it says to do exactly what I was trying to do...
Using Linux Mint 22.2 (24.04), VScode 1.106.3, Claude Code plugin 2.0.55
The behavior has always been like this for me.
What Should Happen?
If I open a file an a project other than the first project in the workspace, CC should launce in that working folder.
