"vim.statusBarColorControl": true,insettings.json - Switch to a different vim mode (e.g.: press
iin normal mode)

Reproduce the hang with vim.statusBarColorControl enabled by switching between Vim modes in VS Code. Trace the mode-switch handling and status-bar color control path; done means switching modes no longer hangs the editor while the setting remains enabled.
