Description

VS Code sticky scroll should show multiple lines of context as seen here. This functions as advertised when RA is stopped, or not loaded. When RA is running, only the topmost line is visible in the sticky scroll area.

rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1459-standalone

rustc version: rustc 1.68.2 (9eb3afe9e 2023-03-27)

relevant settings: Nothing special.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VS Code with rust-analyzer 0.3.1459-standalone and rustc 1.68.2, comparing the sticky scroll while RA is stopped or unloaded with it running. Trace the VS Code integration and sticky-scroll behavior to identify the difference; done means multiple context lines remain visible while rust-analyzer is running.
