VS Code Extension Sidebar Not Displaying/Loading - user-interface

I'm simply wanting to search for extensions in VS Code, so that I can look at a file produced by sqlite3. I go to the extensions tab and click on it but I cannot search for anything. As shown in the screenshot below there is EXTENSIONS to the top left but there is no search bar at all. I cannot click in it or right click in it to bring anything up and I don't know if there is any alternative to search for and get the extension I need.
Screenshot showing Extensions View
I am working on a Ubuntu 18.04LTS OS and I've opened VS Code through Anaconda Navigator (1.9.12). The version of VS Code is 1.45.1. I thought that maybe something here was out of date but I've checked that and they seem to be up-to-date. I've also tried to search for something that's like my problem and the only thing I can find is this issue https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/71574 which was resolved by updating to the most recent versions (I have the most recent versions). I've also tried opening VS Code simply via the terminal but I still have the same problem with the Extensions side bar.

Ruby Solargraph Snippet Does Not Show Up

I have been trying to help my classmates at Flatiron install Solargraph for their Macbooks but the problem I have been encountering is with IntelliSense / pop up.
It seems to provide the method names, and hoover seems to sometimes work, but the definition/snippet pop up does not appear to the right of it like it's supposed to.
We're using VSCode, I did put a check on use language server and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the extension.
It sounds like the popup with additional info is closed. When you hover over the completion item, a > should appear on the right side of the bar. Clicking it should open the popup. It'll stay open for other items until you close it again.

Cannot install extensions in Visual Studio Code, no drop down recommendations

When I try and install an extension in VS Code, nothing happens, and there is no dropdown with recommendations as I type. The bar at the top just has a blue line that perpetually goes from left to right and eventually just closes.
This is on my work computer, would there be a domain restriction that prevents me from installing extensions? Are there alternative ways to install extensions?
Edit: Is there any way to view event logs for VS Code, so see whats happening?

Can't drag files (js/css) from solution explorer into view

Just installed update 1 of vs2013 and now I can't drag .js or .css files from the solution explorer into my html views anymore.
Before you could do this and vs automatically created a script tag or link tag to the file. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the update 1 but I really miss that now, is there a way to re-enable it?
I had this problem in VS 2015; resolved by (re-)enabling:
(Menubar) Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> "Drag and drop text editing"
This not only affects the ability to drag and drop highlighted text (which is why I had turned it off in the first place), but also the ability to produce an automatically formatted link by dragging and dropping a file onto the editor window. There may be a way to separate the two, but I have not come across it.
The same option is present, by the way, in the same location, in VS 2012. However, I did not test the behavior of the option in that version.
I had the same problem and this is how I fixed it...
Option 1:
Go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > File Extension
...and add the extension of the file you are editing. In the editor selection list choose HTML Editor if it is an html or quivalent code you are working on... or just select the kind of code you are writing. After that hit Ok, restart VS and it should work now...
Option 2:
Right click on the file and select open with HTML Editor, save as default, and that should work as well.
Cheers
Try running as administrator, if you are not already.
I had this same problem. I tried #VictorSuarez's solution of adding the edited file's extension to the list of files to opened by the HTML Editor, but it did not immediately solve the problem. I then opened Visual Studio as an admin and was able to drag and drop links as expected.
For vs2022 this should be fixed in: Visual Studio 2022 version 17.3 Preview 3. Accordingly with quote from "Fixed - Pending Release" developer community issue from Jul 13, 2022:
A fix for this issue is now available in preview release. Try out the
fix by installing the most recent preview from
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/ .

get to bottom of page in Chrome with Keyboard-shortcut

I used to get to the bottom of a webpage by pressing CMD+Keydown. Did they remove this shortcut or is it just me?
I know this used to work not too long ago and it's not working since one of the newer versions... (currently Version 31.0.1650.57)
CMD+Keyup still works just fine.
So I finally got around the problem:
An extension I was using got some automatic update, in this it used CMD+Keydown as a shortcut for the extension, which overwrote the default behavior.
The problem hereby was, that the programmer was not done, so he "seized" the shortcut, but was not using it for anything.
Now after more than 2 months, after an other automatic update, the shortcut triggered something in this extension, so I could find out what was causing the shortcut not to work.
Then I just disabled that shortcut for said extension. All working now :D

firebug come home?

For a couple of days I had noticed that the "script" tab of firebug had not been working. I ignored it because I wasn't working with javascript at the time.
Then the day came I was going to need that script panel, which still wasn't working, so I decided to reinstall firebug.
And now, when it's installed, it's just plain gone. No icon that I can see, neither on the bottom bar nor the top bar. No mention of it in the tool menu. The only evidence it's installed is an entry in the extensions list and a file in the extensions folder.
I've tried googling but have not fond anything that sounds like my issue.
I'm using firefox 6 on Windows XP.
For some reason, Firebug changed it's toolbar button (and removed the old one) from the old bug to a blue default cursor over a width, short box. Right-click on a toolbar, select Customize, and look for the icon next to the bug at the large picture of Firebug at top of this page:
http://getfirebug.com/html
This is the button you're looking for (download the raw file to view):

You might try checking if it's profile-specific to start:

Try disabling any other extensions you have installed?
