After copying and pasting a file, it looks like the copy is open in the editor, when actually the original is open in the editor

• VS Code Version: 1.55.2
• OS Version: Darwin x64 20.3.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Select a file in the file explorer
2. Copy and paste with Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V or ⌘-C/⌘-V
3. Now the only file highlighted in the file explorer is the copy, but the original is open in the editor.
4. (Optionally) hit enter to rename the copy, type in a new name, and hit enter to commit the rename. After this the situation is the same as in step 3.

It always looks 99% like the copy is now open in the editor and I end up editing and accidentally saving changes to the original, when I meant to edit the copy. Then I have to swap the contents of the two files.
