Hi @pomdtr 👋, thanks for raising the issue. I can reproduce this and it seems like there is an error in the activation of the extension. I'll dig deeper, but this log is so far what I've got:

I also took a look, it seems it's an openvsx bug, I created an issue upstream https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/issues/468

I have this bug. It still exists. It's annoynig because excalidraw ia a very useful tool and that could be a reason to go and see gitpod competitors.
