Description

The live preview window won't display full window height in codespaces. My webpage looks as expected using the external browser (firefox/chrome). Here is my public repo if anyone wants to open this in codespaces to try and reproduce the issue.

This is what live preview looks like for me in Codespaces

Research direction

Trace the vscode-livepreview preview entry point and verify that the preview reaches the expected full window height in Codespaces without regressing the external-browser case.
