scm.workingSets.enabled steals focus from integrated terminal

[aslatter]

Type: Bug

I changed a test-projects user-settings to:

{
    "scm.workingSets.enabled": true,
    "scm.workingSets.default": "empty"
}

And then opened the integrated terminal.

When I ran the command:

git switch -c tmp

I expected input-focus to remain in the integrated terminal. Instead, focus was removed (I can't tell where focus went, though).

If I then click into the integrated terminal and run:

git switch -

Focus is again removed from the integrated console. This time it lands into the editor window I had open in the previous branch.

When I'm performing branch-switch operations in the terminal I frequently execute additional scm-operations (like creating and pushing a commit).

I would like to add that I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the scm.workingSets feature in that it works even if I prefer working with my scm system from the terminal.

I tried the workflow again with all extensions temporarily disabled and got the same result (focus is removed from the integrated terminal when switching branches).

I am affected by this behavior as well. Here is a screen recording - while I am typing ????... the focus suddenly and unexpectedly shifts to the editor.
