Fetching issue/merge request description not working in VS Code Insiders

Summary

Fetching the issue/merge request description has stopped working in the last few weeks.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open GitLab Workflow sidebar.
  2. Expand a dropdown to reveal an issue or merge request.
  3. Expand the issue or merge request options.
  4. Click "Description".
  5. Observe a new editor launch saying that it's "Fetching issuable details and discussions. This may take a while."
  6. Observe that the editor never populates with the issuable details and discussions.

What is the current bug behavior?

Description editor never populates with details.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Description editor should show issue or merge request details.

Relevant info and screenshots

The editor simply shows this indefinitely:

  • I'm currently running version v3.10.0 of the GitLab Workflow extension, but I believe this issue started happening a few releases prior.
  • In previous versions, I was able to switch to a different editor tab and then switch back to the Description tab and the issue/merge request details would then populate.
