}Steps to reproduce
Move any folder containing .vue components which are referenced by files outside of that folder.
What is expected?
All imports, either incoming, outgoing, or within the moved folder should update correctly according to the move.
What is actually happening?
No import updates happen either inside or outside of the moved folder.

Any additional comments?
I've had this problem basically since the launch of Vue 3. I feel like this used to work correctly when Vue 2 was the latest version.
The same operation works flawlessly with React code. Actually, I never had any problem with refactoring with React in 2 years of using it daily.
If I select a bunch of .vue files and move them to another folder, I receive this popup:
And the import updates work reasonably well. (sometimes they break, though)
But if I select and move a folder instead of files, no popup appears and no refactoring happens.
I mostly use Cursor/VS Code on Windows with WSL, but I tested and the same occurs without WSL. It seems the same happens in Ubuntu as well, but I tested it a while ago. I also tested with a brand new VS Code profile with only the Vue.js extension, still the same problem.
Is it just happening with me? Is there something simple I'm missing?
