re #44466

Run the attached extension snippets, have an untitled file open and toggle between that and the webview.

'use strict';
// The module 'vscode' contains the VS Code extensibility API
// Import the module and reference it with the alias vscode in your code below
import * as vscode from 'vscode';

// this method is called when your extension is activated
// your extension is activated the very first time the command is executed
export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {

    // Use the console to output diagnostic information (console.log) and errors (console.error)
    // This line of code will only be executed once when your extension is activated
    console.log('Congratulations, your extension "webview" is now active!');

    const webview = vscode.window.createWebview(
        vscode.Uri.parse('foo:bar/bazz'), 
        vscode.ViewColumn.One, 
        { enableScripts: true, enableCommandUris: true, retainContextWhenHidden: true }
    );
    
    // The command has been defined in the package.json file
    // Now provide the implementation of the command with  registerCommand
    // The commandId parameter must match the command field in package.json
    let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('extension.sayHello', () => {
        // The code you place here will be executed every time your command is executed
        
        webview.title = 'webview';    
        webview.html = '<p id="fff">Test</p><script>setInterval(() => { document.getElementById("fff").innerHTML += " " + Math.random() }, 1000)</script>';
        // webview.show(vscode.ViewColumn.Three);
        // Display a message box to the user
        // vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Hello World!');
    });

    context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}

// this method is called when your extension is deactivated
export function deactivate() {
}

Good find. Was related to retainContextWhenHidden. Should be fixed now
