Visual Studio Code plug-in often erases device selections in manifest.xml

In SDK 8.1.1, I have noticed that while working in Visual Studio Code, the plug-in erases my Garmin device selections in manifest.xml. This is annoying and time-wasting.

There is no way to recover them and I have to reselect the desired devices again. I have not been able to pinpoint what action causes this to happen.

It erases all devices. When I go to the text editor mode. The device selections are gone. Comments are preserved. By default the manifest editor is activated. If I had a preference, I would use the text editor always because of this problem. And I always edit the app version which cannot be done from the manifest editor,.

An additional problem is that sometimes the enabled permissions get duplicated. This causes a compiler warning but is not fatal.

Is it erasing every device or a select few? The next time this occurs can you open the manifest in the text editor rather than the manifest editor UI to see if the devices still exist there?

I forgot to write that this happens quite often.

This happens even when I have not changed the minimim API version setting.

Just viewing the manifest.xml can cause the problem.
