Upstream Issues
Please upvote the following VS Code issues:
Mixed Line Endings Are Not Supported (microsoft/vscode#127)
VS Code normalizes line endings of mixed files upon load, and thus this extension will always show one kind of EOL character.
CR Line Ending Is Not Supported (microsoft/vscode#35797)
VS Code does not support the CR line ending. Therefore, while you can
configure it, you will never see CR as a line ending.
Not Rendering Glyphs For Large Files (microsoft/vscode#27100)
For performance reasons VS Code doesn't synchronize files that are over 5MB in size. Therefore, no line-ending characters will be visible on large files.
To avoid this you can set:
"editor.largeFileOptimizations": false
