Community Issue Tracking

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in contributing to VS Code!

We have started to involve the community in our issue tracking to better load-balance the work and allow for quicker feedback on new issues. The following are the guidelines and extra powers for our community trackers:

Check our "inbox" for new issues and see if any can be helped with:

• If it needs more information, mark it as such with /needsMoreInfo and maybe explain what is missing:
  • Does it reproduce with all extensions disabled (--disable-extensions or Reload Window With Extensions Disabled)?
  • For performance issues ask them to follow https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Performance-Issues.
  • For native crashes ask them to follow https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues.
  • For non-English reports, ask them to describe the issue in English and suggest a machine translator.
• If it is a duplicate of an existing issue, mark it as such with /duplicate #12345.
  • Optionally let the bot search for duplicates (if it hasn't done so already) with /findDuplicates.
• If it is a bug you can reproduce, /confirm it and add any additional info that might help the dev team reproduce it.
• If it is a bug you cannot reproduce, use /confirmationPending to label it and add any info that might help the author clarify the steps to reproduce.
