Reset View Locations command only puts views back into their panel of origin, but ignores order and height

[Tommycore]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.71.2
• OS Version: Win 10 Pro x64 version 1909

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Move views into different panels, resize them and reorder them.
2. Call the View: Reset View Locations command via command panel.

Expected Behaviour:

1. Views are being sorted back into their panel of origin.
2. Views are scaled back to their original size. If two views did originally take up equal space, they should do so again. If a panel was retracted before, it should be retracted again.
3. Views are being put into their original order.

Actual Behaviour:

1. All views are being put back into their panel of origin.
2. ❌
3. ❌

If this behaviour is by design, then I'd like to turn this bug report into a feature request. As an extension developer it would be incredibly helpful to be able to see the layout of my views like someone who loaded the extension for the first time would. As suggested by alefragnani here, this might be a bug with the new size attribute for views though.

This is by design, so this would be a feature request to have the ability to reset your extension views. There are 2 sides to this, both from the user and from an extension authors perspective. Usually we don't want the extension author to make these decisions for the user, but make view management a user choice.
