I can not reproduce this. Can you please provide a short video showing this?
Also can you reproduce if you disable all your extensions

Here comes a video of the bug in action, as well as a zip containing a sample project. It seems like the issue has to do with the files.exclude option in .vscode/settings.json. Perhaps I'm simply using the settings incorrectly.

Correct, seems like you are having some corner case setup with files.include.
I will not have time to debug this right now, thus assigning to backlog.
If you would like to investigate more, here's a code pointer where you can put a breakpoint
F1 > developer tools > sources

vscode/src/vs/workbench/contrib/files/browser/views/explorerViewer.ts

Line 588 in 3a04fcc

stat.isExcluded = false;

I'm having this issue as well, and believe that it should be categorized as a bug. The issue seems to have been introduced by one of the recent updates, as I had never experienced this before updating my portable instance of VSCode recently.

 

I can not reproduce this. Can you please provide a short video showing this?

Here's a sample project that demonstrates the issue. I included cases where the issue is apparent, as well as cases where the expected functionality is intact.

• YouTube Video
• GitHub Repository

 

Also can you reproduce if you disable all your extensions

Yes

I reported it in more detail here: #102147

Closed that since it's a duplicate.

I used the built-in issue submitter, so it includes all my system info:

Actual

• Setup a multi-root workspace. Let's say there's two roots, rootA and rootB
• Add an entry to rootA/.vscode/settings.json:files.exclude to exclude someSubFolder in rootA
• Navigate back and forth between the roots in the File Explorer
• Watch as the rootA/someSubFolder is shown/hidden as you navigate back and forth between the roots.

Expected

files.exclude settings in all multi-root workspace roots should be respected while navigating between roots, not glitchingly show/hide the subfolders that are supposed to be hidden.

Thanks!
