How to deal with the mouse (cursor lagging in VS Code)?



Since the SQL Developer extension for VS Code was released, I’ve been using this tool every day. Functionally, the tool is meant to have the same features as the "old" SQL Developer, and it’s still being developed.
There’s only one thing that bothered me – mouse cursor lag. Moving the cursor around is especially necessary when conducting a training session. But the cursor would occasionally disappear, which made it very hard to work, slowed me down (and, frankly, annoyed me).
But where there’s a problem, there’s a solution!
It turns out that simply disabling hardware acceleration does the trick. Below is a step-by-step guide (just two steps):

  1. Open the settings with CTRL+SHIFT+P
    Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments

  2. Add the following line to the file: "disable-hardware-acceleration": true

Finally, I can work without being annoyed every time.
Have a great day :)
