Hi everyone. Wanted to see if others are experiencing this, or if it's something specific to my setup.
I've been helping two teammates onboard to using VS Code with Live Share and the OpenClaw refactoring plugin, and we're running into a persistent and disruptive issue. During a Live Share session, when the guest has OpenClaw installed (even if inactive), cursor positions for the host become completely unreliable. The host's cursor will visually jump to lines the guest is viewing, and text insertion happens in the wrong location. This effectively breaks paired programming until Live Share is restarted, and sometimes requires disabling OpenClaw for the guest entirely.
On my system (macOS Sonoma, VS Code 1.89, OpenClaw v0.8.3, Live Share v1.0.5914), I can reproduce it consistently. My teammates on Windows are seeing similar behavior. Without Live Share, OpenClaw works flawlessly.
Has anyone found a workaround or configuration tweak that lets these two extensions coexist peacefully? I'm leaning toward this being an extension host communication conflict, but I'd appreciate any shared experiences before digging deeper with the respective extension logs.
