vscode-marimo Autosave swallows inputs

When editing a marimo notebook in VSCode, quite aggressive autosaving takes place. Every few keystrokes, it saves the file - even if I'm still typing. This leads to inputs being swallowed regularly. Additionally, when trying to enter a new line, it gets removed almost immediately again. If I enter multiple newlines at once, only the last one gets removed. I suspect that this is some autoformatting applied in combination with the autosave mechanism.

hey @Luux - it might be a new config that was introduced. Can you check your marimo settings, and disable "Watch" (uncheck it)? Let me know if you still experience the issue

I tried turning off the option, but the problem still seems to persist.

Also, sometimes it's stuck in loading the server infinitely until I change the port in the settings. EDIT: just saw that for the server not starting, there is already an issue: https://github.com/marimo-team/vscode-marimo/issues/61

Hi, we've launched a new VSCode extension at https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo-lsp (readme). It may mean this issue is resolved or no longer applicable. If the issue still exists, please file the issue on over on the new Issues page.
