Description

@alex-jitbit

The extension refuses to work offline. Even after an online session that's supposed to download/install/update everything, like described in the wiki.

This is really frustrating, I was hoping to work on a plane, and was unable to. No intellisense, no "go to definition", some syntax highlight is broken, etc
