Known Issues

When switching between tabs, the folding ranges take a second to update. This is an issue with VS Code itself. Waiting for a fix.
If a folding range is at the end of the file, sometimes it would fold the start line while scrolling. Again, this is an issue with VS Code API, will submit an issue to their repo soon.
The cursor can hide behind the folded text. Working on a fix.
