Description
Clicking the "Open Preview" button does nothing — no preview window opens, and there’s no error message.
Tried the following with no effect:
- Reinstalled the Live Preview extension
- Uninstalled and reinstalled VS Code
It was working fine a few days ago. Now it doesn’t respond at all. On macOS 15.4.1

Begin by reproducing the failure from the Open Preview button on macOS 15.4.1; the report names no file or test to start from. Done means identifying why no preview window or error appears and verifying that the preview opens again.
