any idea?

e.g ~/code/folder_a ----ok ~/code/folder_b ----ssh timeout

if I rename folder_b to something else, I then can open it, if I rename it back to folder_b, still get timeout.

At windows client:

• Delete all the folder in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\workspaceStorage

At linux client:

• Delete all the folder in ~/.vscode/workspaceStorage or ~/.config/Code/User/workspaceStorage
