When splitting a terminal that's in the editor area (via the "Split Terminal" command), the new terminal correctly opens in a new editor group to the side, but a duplicate "shadow tab" also appears in the original editor group.
Issue #291578
Root Cause
TerminalEditorService.splitInstancecalledthis._editorService.openEditor(...)withSIDE_GROUPbut did not await it. The call was fire-and-forget.After
createTerminalreturned, the Split action calledfocusActiveTerminal→focusInstance→_revealEditor, which calledopenEditoragain without specifying a target group. Since the firstopenEditorhadn't completed yet, the editor wasn't in any group, sofindGroupdefaulted to the active group — the original group containing the parent terminal. This created a duplicate tab.This regression was introduced by the new
_revealEditorlogic infocusInstance(added after1.106.0). In1.106.0,focusInstancewas justinstance.focusWhenReady(true)with noopenEditorcall, so the race couldn't occur.Fix
Await the
openEditorinsplitInstanceso the new terminal is fully opened in the correct side group beforefocusInstanceruns.Testing
Previously, a shadow terminal tab would appear in the original editor group. After the fix, it no longer does so.
