Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.96.3. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

This should be part with imports indicator See https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_96#_paste-with-imports-for-javascript-and-typescript for details and settings.

Happens in typescript (.ts files ) since 1.96.2 I think...

Here's the little spinning thingy:

"restart typescript server" command via ctrl+shift +P helps, but have to redo at every paste.

CTRL+SHIFT+V also works. regular paste seems problematic only.

Larry Tesler will probably roll in his grave.

But in all seriousness. like @IllusionMH mentions this is caused by https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_96#_paste-with-imports-for-javascript-and-typescript

In my opinion, this feature should definitely not be enabled by default. An alternative solution could be to revert to basic paste if language servers are still starting, and only do paste with imports once they are live.

@bmjhversteeg Confirmed, disabling this feature solved the issue for me:

settings.json

"typescript.updateImportsOnPaste.enabled": false,
"javascript.updateImportsOnPaste.enabled": false
