Description

I'm curious if there's an example or guidance available for addressing the issue mentioned in the title.
It appears that VSCode accurately highlights syntax using provideDocumentSemanticTokens. However, rapid typing or typos can cause the loss of all highlighted syntax. Is there a known workaround to overcome this problem?
