I have had VS Code load the wrong version of a file. I’m not sure whether it’s loading an older cached version or loading a file with the same name from another folder. The first time this happened and I couldn’t resolve it, I put away VS Code for a couple of years. I tried VS Code again after forgetting all about why I deleted it. I got burned by the same problem. You can navigate right to the file you want to open, and it opens something else.
