"NVDA Not Reading When I Open a Folder from Within VSCode"

[taylorarndt]

Type: Bug

When I open a folder within Visual Studio Code, NVDA announces the folder as "unknown" instead of reading anything . i have to restart nvda and alt tab out and back in. This issue prevents me from knowing which folder or files are being opened, making it difficult to navigate effectively within VSCode. note, i am on a mac with a windows VM. I was also able to reproduce on my other computers.
