Imports get always folded when editing in Eclipse 2024-03

[egloffmark]

Dear all, I am facing a new issue with Eclipse 2024-03 on Windows and Ubuntu. When I editing the imports section at the top of a TS / JS file with the the integrated Wild Web Editor then the section get immediately folded.

Also when I then try to unfold and place my cursor at the imports, the editor again immediately folds / collapses the section.

this is really an annoying bug and I had to revert back to eclipse 2023-12. There the issue is not happening.

This eclipse version is affected:

Version: 2024-03 (4.31.0)
Build id: 20240307-1437

This version works properly:

Version: 2023-12 (4.30.0)
Build id: 20231201-2043

Thank you for any help or fix on this.

Regards
Mark

Is there any way to disable import collapses?

Occasionally, there's a short delay before the folding happens, especially on bigger projects where the language server probably has more processing to do. Essentially, you start reading through code, and all of a sudden everything moves around because the collapsing kicked in.

JavaScript imports tend to be more "diverse" than other languages: absolute paths, folder relative paths, external modules with or without scopes, etc. Unlike Java where imports tend to have a more rigid structure, it's more useful to have them always visible in JavaScript, and that's actually the default behaviour in most JS editors.

I agree there should be an options that it can be disabled.

This is upstream issue eclipse/lsp4e#895 , imports should only be folded on editor open, only if the response happens within a reasonable time. LSP4E is too enthusiastic here and does it all the time.
Anyone willing to contribute this fix to LSP4E would most likely be very welcome!
I'm keeping the issue here for tracking purpose, but the further work should now move to eclipse/lsp4e#895 .

As said here: eclipse/lsp4e#895 (comment)

To disable import collapses, simply install the latest version of lsp4e.
