Empty tabs constantly (re)appear.

A few weeks ago, VSCode began to constantly recreate tabs. Notably, they are always considered to have been modified, so I have to confirm their closure.

I initially thought that the undermentioned log might be the cause:

2024-07-10 13:50:43.340 [error] Unhandled method getIdAtPosition: Error: Unhandled method getIdAtPosition

...because another entry appeared to always occur each time I closed one of these tabs. However, it stopped appearing today, so I'm a loss for the cause.

The attached URI is this video, which depicts the reappearance of the tabs. The attached image depicts multiple entries of the aforementioned log.

I see these tabs sporadically, usually no more than one at a time. But because they happen rarely and irregularly I was never able to pin down the reason.

I've noticed it tends to happen when I have a new editor open without saving it as a file: VS Code, or an extension, will then (sometimes) create an Untitled tab with non-visible changes.

More rarely I see it happening when I'm editing a new markdown file, before saving it for the first time. I'm using the extensions markdownlint, Markdown PDF, and Markdown All in One. Bisect is a bit useless because I was never able to reliably replicate the issue.
- I don't have MarkdownLint nor Markdown All-in-One installed, and disabling Markdown PDF doesn't resolve the problem. Unfortunately, we're looking in the wrong place, it appears.
