Have you changed your config file in any way? Have you tried comment anchors on other projects as well?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin as well

[Alexey-B]

I didn't change config file and I tried deleting and reinstalling this extension. No success.
I even created a new workspace and disabled all extensions except Comment Anchors.
The comments are still not picked up.
Again - in 2023 everything worked with the same settings.

I checked on Windows 8.1, everything works there. Looks like a problem in Windows 11.

It’s also interesting that autofill suggests, but again doesn’t see anything.

I've run some tests on my end and I can't seem to reproduce the issue at all. I've tried different environments and different languages everything seems to work.

I am running Windows 11 as well. Is there any other information you can provide?
Can you show your settings.json and also if you made any modifications delete them and try just the default settings. (Deleting the plugin doesn't remove any settings.json that you added so if something is incorrect there it will exist on deletion and reinstalls)

Hi @Zodsmar !
I have attached my simplest project, there is essentially nothing in it, no settings.
I checked again (Windows 11): version v.1.10.4 is still not working. But when I rolled back to version 1.10.3, everything miraculously appeared (screen).

Yeah I have no idea. It works perfectly for me. If anyone else has any ideas I'm all ears but if I can't reproduce it, I'm not sure how to even go about "fixing" it

[redpwilliams]

I can attest to what @Alexey-B is saying. I'm sure I'm just now noticing this issue although the update to 1.10.4 happened 2 months ago. Can confirm that downgrading to 1.10.3 solves the issue.
I hope in the near future I'll be able to fork this and work on the issue.

[Zodsmar]

be able to

If you do fork it and get the issue in a dev environment please let me know cause I have tried so many things and just can't reproduce it at all

[redpwilliams]

@Zodsmar Now I'm as lost as you. I ran the extension locally at the latest version 1.14.0 and in a clean environment, this feature of the extension worked fine. Contrasted to before where I had to downgrade to 1.13.0 to have a working feature. I tried to do a git bisect to find where the bug was introduced, but in each commit from the release of 1.13.0 to 1.14.0, I saw no issues with the feature.
To make things more confusing (for me, at least), I'm running 1.14.0 in my normal environment and the extension works fine now. I don't know what changed between today and a few days ago, as my other extensions, settings, and vscode version have stayed the same. My windows machine's version has not changed since mid February.
I'd love to know if the problem has been resolved for you, @Alexey-B.

Really strange issue as I personally have not run into any problems either, so I'm unsure how it could be fixed. If anyone does find a cause or a possible fix I'll gladly incorporate it and release a new version of the extension

[Alexey-B]

Everything is still the same for me and I still don’t understand the reason. In version 1.10.4 (something happened to the version numbering?) there are no anchors, in version 1.10.3 there are.
