When multiple assignment/unassignment events happen within 10 minutes by the same actor, VSCode consolidates them into a single timeline item. However, VSCode was showing the most recent time while GitHub.com shows the earliest time, causing confusion for users.
Before:
After:
The fix removes the line that was updating the consolidated event's timestamp to the newest time, instead keeping the original (earliest) timestamp to match GitHub.com's behavior.
Technical Details:
In
webviews/components/timeline.tsx, when consolidating assignment events that occur within 10 minutes by the same actor, the code was settinglastEvent.createdAt = newEvent.createdAtwhich used the most recent time. This line has been removed so the earliest time is preserved.Fixes #7007.
