VS Code: cannot rename project subfolder

- Windows 11

- SDK 8.1.0

- Monkey C extension 1.1.1

Use case:

- I want to make a copy of an existing folder (e.g. "resources/" => "resources copy/") and rename it (e.g. to "resources-spa/")

Recreation procedure:

- Open existing project in VS Code

- Copy/paste resources/ in place (CTRL-C, CTRL-V). This will create a copy called "resources copy"

- Rename "resources copy" to "resources-spa". The rename action will spin forever in VS Code - it may or may not complete if you close the VS Code window. (After you close the VS Code window, you can rename the folder by other means, such as using File Explorer or Terminal)

I suspect the Monkey C extension's language server is locking all of the project folders.

    This is still an issue.

    It makes development under Windows very painful, as it's impossible to do something as simple as copying an existing project folder/file and renaming it, without closing the Visual Studio Code window first.
