Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VS Code 1.53.0 with extension version 1.18.9 on macOS Darwin 20.3, following the index.html steps in the report. Investigate why opening the externally created file leaves keyboard and mouse input behaving as though the file is read-only; done means the file can be edited normally.
