How to remove the red color indictors at the beginning of all the code?

Question

When I updated Visual Studio Code, I am getting this annoying red indicator/highlighting before every line of code. Before the update, didn't have this issue. Does anyone know what is this and how to get rid of it?

I tried resetting and changing the theme but it didn't work.

Answer 1

I think this extension is causing your problem:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=oderwat.indent-rainbow

Try to disable/uninstall the "Indent-Rainbow" extension if it is installed.

For the "Trailing Spaces" extension, you can disable the highlighting option by adding this line to the settings.json file.

{
  "trailing-spaces.highlightCurrentLine": false 
}

You can find more settings here:

Answer 2

I kept the Indent Rainbow extension, but added this to my settings.json to disable the red highlights:

    "indentRainbow.ignoreErrorLanguages": [
    "markdown",
    "python"
    ]
