This is certainly a regression introduced recently and most likely also linked to the following issue since the files are actually created but the project navigator isn't updating:

• 🐞 Missing reload folder contents in navigation pane #1188

@avnerbarr thank you for the detailed report.

@lukepistrol are you looking into this ? I'm trying to work up a fix, I did get to the not updating part so this line is not working correctly on the OutlineMenu class :
200 outlineView.expandItem((item?.isFolder ?? true) ? item : item?.parent)

@armartinez not really for now - just triaging some newer issues. If you want to take on this issue just let me know and I'll assign you 😊 (Also leave a comment on the other linked issue so I can assign you there too)

[armartinez]

@lukepistrol yes I'll take the issue, it seems like a nice one to start contributing to the project

Perfect!
