[Bug] Clicking the prefix button in a Workspace toggles the repo's dropdown

[atrudeau-vitall]

Background
Using a VSCode workspace you can add and work on multiple repositories, each repository you add to a workspace also has its own collapsable section in the source control panel.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a workspace with 2 or more repositories in VSCode
2. Install + configure the git prefix extension
3. Click the git prefix button in either repo's source control section

Expected output
The commit message box for the selected repo is prefixed with the extension's prefix message, and each source control section's "collapsed" state is unaffected by clicking the git prefix button.

Actual Output
The commit prefix is set correctly, however the source control section for the first repo in the workspace toggles (if it was open, it is now closed, vice versa) regardless of which git prefix button was clicked.

I'm experiencing the same issue. In my case it's not a workspace with multiple repositories but a git repository that contains git submodules. I assume it's the same root cause, as the Source Control panel shows multiple repositories.

I'm also experiencing this and have been for some time.

The reason is here. I think the author tried to set focus on input box, but instead of this, focus sets on repository widget and next select action collapse it.

When can we expect a release with this fix?

It is already released. The bug should already be fixed when you do an update of the extension.

I have the latest version and still have the issue.

Collapses the main repository:

I think this is the latest version of the extension, according to the changelog. Do I misunderstand the issue and have found another one? Or am I doing something not quite right?

I'm also on the most recent version and this is still happening for me FWIW
