Prevent VSCode from unfolding code when cursor moves past folded section

Question

Is it possible to prevent VSCode from unfolding a folded code section if I move past it with my cursor using the arrow keys?

A common workflow I have coming from Atom is to fold parts of my code, then move my cursor down below the folded sections to get to later sections of a file. If I do this in VSCode, the folded section will unfold as soon as my cursor crosses the top of the section. I want it to move past it instead.

Here's an example:

I searched my prefs and Google for a setting, but couldn't find one.

My Google-fu failed me when I first opened this but there's plenty of discussion around it, and a fix.

• Issue
• Temp fix issue

The FAQ for the VSCodeVim extension also says this:

• Moving j/k over folds opens up the folds

Try setting vim.foldfix to true. This is a hack; it works fine, but there are side effects (see issue#22276).

The fix is working great for me!! Very happy to have solved this.
