Description

stale triage-needed

Type: Bug

Hi,
I use the Remote-SSH function (is it an extension? I don't know) very often and in multiple editor windows.

I move my computer between work and home - so I naturally lose the connection always.

Every Remote-SSH vscode window will then pop up a dialogue about reconnecting. My job then is to find in which order to press the dialogues - becuase they all lock each other and only the latest (or first?) dialogue can be pressed. All the other dialogues refuse interaction until it is the top-most.

So the bug is that I have X number of "remote session lost"-windows, but I must press them in correct order.

Regards
Kjell
