VS Code folding disrupts routine line selection and movement
VS Code developers report accidentally collapsing code when trying to select at the start of a line, and having line-move commands unfold folded sections. These interactions make routine editing imprecise or disruptive; one reported workaround is turning folding off, even though the user wants to use it. The evidence is a small number of requests in one repository, so broad demand is unproven.
For VS Code developers who edit code with folding enabled. Mentioned from Sep 2020 to Jun 2022 on GitHub.

i just had to turn code folding off. which is too bad because i'd like to start actually using that feature, it seems useful. but not if there's like 1 pixel between the collapse button and the spot i need to click to select before the first character on a line
i keep folding my code when trying to select the beginning of the line. its highly frustrating
