Description

Type: Bug

once it disconnects, it'll get stuck trying to reconnect, and the only thing that I can do is SSH into my machine separately and kill the vscode server process. Once I do that SSH works again for a little bit beofre the problem resurfaces. I'v done this 8+ times in the last hour ;(
